A Plasma Vision draft

[Jens Reuterberg]

So the current version after revisions looks like this. To this comes of 
course addendums like the one in previous versions. We simply want feedback on 
this so that we know the previous objections are cleared out and we can go 
forward

"Plasma is for people using a computing device in a professional context, 
where productivity, performance and privacy are essential"

Added to that may come the "detail parts" and it will be packaged up, we just 
want to give everyone a chance to comment first until we nail it down.
