I think that the best way to start this project is to request an svn account 
and start working on playground. In KDE's svn server there is a folder named 
"playground" where we can put all our prototypes. I think this would be a good 
place to start.

It's important that you start sharing the code from the beginning with the 
community so we can give you some help with that. Kevin and others can help a 
lot and there are a lot of Nokians around also that can help. But if you keep 
the code somewhere that we can't see it would be difficult to help...

Maybe Alexis can talk with the guys from the S60 port about QtDBus status ? :)
Otherwise I can go and talk with them but probably it would be faster if Alexis 
just go to their office =P

I know your company...there were some Tieto's workers on a project that I was 
working :)

So please: put the code somewhere on svn and come to #plasma on freenode :)
Welcome aboard ;)
