personal opinion: we should sit down next week and work on that area. A 
Venn diagram might not be the solution, but an architecture diagram.

After reading sebas reply to this thread and your reply, I am 
completely confused and my understanding of what "active" is and what 
"plasma" is does not fit yours and not sebas definition.

I think one of the problem is that "Plasma" stands for different things 
in different context. The same problem as we had with "KDE". So yes we 
should consider to sit down and define what is what and how it interacts 
with each other.

My understanding: Plasma is a technology to create user experiences. 
One of the experience is desktop, one is active. That active nowadays 
seems also related to the desktop formfactor is complete news to me.

So yes there is clearly things to sit down and define and maybe even 
rename things to make it clear what we talk of.

Cheers
