Idea for SoC propsal

[Jordi Polo]

Your proposal has striking similarities to mine:
http://www.bahasara.org/raw-attachment/wiki/Papers/gsoc.txt

It seems that even when both want to push krunner forward, you are more
interested in the performance of the future krunner and I am more interested
in the integration with the rest of KDE and the command input.

You wrote that ranking will be the most time consuming operation. I really
see discovering the type of information or other text manipulation task as
more consuming than ranking. Keep track of most used runners, add
blacklisting and priority and rank according to that should not take a lot
of time (guess what the kernel does with memory pages...)

I do like your idea of the runners being able of somehow present themselves
and their syntax.
