Cool... Had a look at it just now...
Looks like a great start. *rubs hands and sits straight*
Btw, I just read your blog entry
(http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2008/08/sitting-in-lhr.html) where you
also talk about contexts, but more limited to widgets and just "plasma
activity"..

So, to be on the same side, I would like to clarify a few points...
1. Are we looking to create contexts that are shared between kde apps
and plasma (via DBus)? Something like Global activities ( can we use
the term "activities" for this or a different term ?)
2. Shouldn't context be more granular? like activities, location, user
modes, etc. Different widgets and apps might be interested in
different things.

We need to nail down the difference between project, activity and
context, please...for a more clear understanding....

Sure! Once I get a better idea of what is needed, I would jump in !

If you would like to discuss this more on IRC, please let me know.
FYI, I live in India (so, my timezone is GMT + 5:30 hrs). But, let me
know your convenient time, i will try to make it !
