Well, We need to accommodate a lot of new people into the workspace team 
(starting by myself) and I think that this sprint is a good starting point to 
create together a vision and a set of goals we can share and work on them in 
the following months.

If now that we have a good momentum we ask people to get involved on 
libplasma2 (I guess that's what you mean with technical fundation) two things 
can happend:

1-Everybody joings libplasma2 development, coordination is a mess, lot of new 
people working in old code etc, not ideal.
2-We wait until libplasma2 is done, maybe when it is done we don't have this 
much interested people anymore.

Anyway, in the irc meeting we had, we all agreed on working (all of us) on 
porting first everything to QML1. I guess that in the meanwhile  plasma2 will 
be done while Elegance project should be resuscitated etc, Summing it up we 
will be working on technology after the sprint.

I'm no expert, but the vision should NOT be driven by technology but instead 
the other way around, once we have the vision and we have the solution to 
implement that vision, then we will have to care about what technology we have 
to create/adapt/adopt/etc. Of course since we are developers we will be doing 
technical work before vision/solution is finished.

Just my two cents.
