you're actually asking two different sets of questions here:

* how do you get to the data

* how do you display the data

i think in this case, maybe start with the intended user experience. i'm not 
sure what you are actually envisioning for the user experience. e.g.:

should notes appear automatically on your desktop / panel when they appear in 
Akonadi, so if i add a note in Kontact it would appear somewhere on my desktop 
as well?

should notes be individual widgets, or should they be grouped?

should only notes created by the user in plasma-desktop be shown on plasma-
desktop? or only notes tagged in some way?

is this meant to be  replacement / augmentation for the current notes 
plasmoid, or something quite different?
