[Panel-devel] applet creator

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hey all =)

something that we probably ought to ship with plasma is an applet studio. at 
the very basic level this should package the individual files that make up an 
applet into a distributable package.

in the packager GUI you should be able to add all the graphics that will be 
used, all the HTML/CSS, all the designer forms, all the configuration XML, 
etc... and it will spit out a single file that is an installable plasma 
applet. it should also probably create the necessary .desktop files and 
collect information such as the author name and license of the applet.

obviously this won't be so much for C++ applets, but for JS/Ruby/Python 
applets. i think this would make a great little project for someone to work 
on, and will be a really important tool to ship.

any thoughts on additional requirements / specs? once this is done, i'll 
probably add some information on it to the website so we keep track of this 
idea =)
