Maybe I'm not getting what you meant: this is already possible. Plasma supports 
javascript/qtscript plasmoids. If you put them somewhere like kde-apps.org you 
will also be able to download them. So, what exactly is your point about 
"enabling plasma" to run script plasmoids ? So, maybe I just didn't get what 
you mean :) Can you explain a little bit more ?

If you mean running "qt lively" scripts on plasma, then we have two options: if 
they are "pure" javascript or qtscript ones it should work out of the box of 
even just need some really small work. If they are special in any way, then we 
should just create a qt lively scriptengine and it will work perfectly (just 
like we did with google gadgets, edje and OSX).

Well, it should be pretty easy to be a plasma/kde developer ;P. But anyway I 
think that we are closer than you think to support qt lively widgets on plasma. 
Maybe it already works with just a little amount of work. And as I'm on my 
creative Friday, maybe I can end the day making this thing work ;) But first I 
need to understand what I asked above and have access to this widgets.

Cheers!
