Hey people,
I don't want to write the book, so I'll be quick as possible :D
The best way to go, in our opinion, is Plasma. And this means that Raptor will
be nothing but a popup applet, interacting with a dataengine. The dataengine
will mostly hold a model that the applet will use for generating the view.
Let's talk about tom quickly. Me and riccardo discussed right today that every
bit we need for raptor has already been implemented in KDE. So, we think the
best solution for TOM would be using nepomuk based storage, by creating a new
ontology. This would grant us an optimized database we can use to update our
model.
Riccardo has some other ideas about using some KRunners that I'll let him
explain.
So in the end I think we should keep the code simple, we don't need plugins or
anything, that would just add a whole level of complexity without giving any
real advantage. I'd aim for code simplicity that would let us maintain it more
easily.
I personally think this kind of approach (yes, it's just a very very short
decscription) it's the best one, though I'd like to hear some other voices
Cheers
Dario
