Participation in GSoC 2013

[amanjot singh]

This is Amanjot Singh, I took part in SoK last year, worked on the project
"Global New Document Menu.." (
http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2012/Ideas#Project:_Global_.22New_document....22_menu
)
under Friedrich W. H. Kossebau. I developed a widget under this project and
it is basically a template opener for LibreOffice ( a part of the overall
project ), and it is available in my scratch repository at the KDE servers
- http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fajsingh%2FAmanjotSingh.git

It isn't fully developed yet, so I wanted to submit a proposal for the same
to make it a fully functional and a usable widget.

The main goal would be improvement of the user interface, the widget uses a
file dialog, instead a list of available templates would be developed
showing their title, author, date of creation and other information.
Another thing that would be added is a preview button that shows the
preview or thumbnail of the files in the list.
A standardization of the folder where LibreOffice stores templates would
have to made for the widget to work properly on every system.
After this is developed, the widget will be extended to work with multiple
application programs,  allowing the user to create and open files and
templates of the types not supported or not present in LibreOffice.
Would like to ponder on any more suggestions on the development of the
widget and comments on my direction of development. :)

Thank you!
