hi ...

i've got my hands pretty full right now with documenting the JavaScript 
Plasmoid API:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/JavaScript/API

the DataEngine and Runner JS APIs also need documenting in a similar fashion, 
though on their own pages on techbase. it would also be a great way to learn 
the API's the old-fashioned way (reading the source ;) and would be a huge 
help not only to me but everyone who would like to use these APIs in the 
future.

the sources are in kdebase/runtime/plasma/scriptengines/javascript/ in the 
javascripdataengine.cpp and javascriptrunner.cpp files.

if my experience with documenting the plasmoid API is any indication, 
documenting the API will also lead to the discover of things that need to get 
fixed (which i am happy to do if you don't want to or don't know c++ 
sufficiently to do so :)

anyone interested? i'm happy to mentor/provide pointers in the right 
directions
