[Panel-devel] Quick comment on Marc Cramdal's ALI blog

[Wade Olson]

Yes, it does blend/bleed into plasma workflow. It'll be interesting to see 
how far down the rabbit hole people go.

ie

http://www.koffice.org/kplato/
http://www.kontact.org/
http://uml.sourceforge.net/index.php

Not for most people, but taking a task/bundle and tieing it to an 
application EX: Kontact TODO or vice versa having an application EX: KPlato 
task open up a bundle of applications/task would be boggling.

So share your thoughts, and in the meantime I'll tell everyone that your 
idea of Plasma workflow is the concept of sending OpenGL rotating Bugzilla 
requests directly to your systray.
