Hi,
I´m working on a approval workflow system for KDE-Look.org. Aaron
requested this feature already.
I hope to have it ready in the next few weeks. So a moderator team can
do a quality check for plasmoids in the future.
In the meantime I can give Admin rights on KDE-Look.org to anybody who
wants to help and I trust.
Please send me a message if you are interested.
Cheers
Frank
