Javascript plasmoids

[Tommi Mikkonen]

Everybody,

after having worked some time with JavaScript and Qt APIs (
lively.cs.tut.fi/qt ), and now taking a look at Plasmoids with JS in
mind, is there a full list of available APIs anywhere? I've done some
porting from our approach, but this is somewhat slow as we've used
different interface mechanism (Qt Script Generator).
