ok.

Yes, I knew this was coming... There are a few low-level things that I would 
like to take care of next (including addressing the performance problems in 
object modification detection). I don't know, how much time that will take. For 
downloadable plugins, I was thinking to use the "Get Hot New Stuff"-framework 
(ghns.freedesktop.org). This is supported by kdelibs, and so adding this will 
not require too much work on the C++-side (I hope). However, I have not done 
much reading on this, and I don't know what the provider, data, and meta-files 
would look like, exactly, how the data should be packaged, etc. So - if you 
have some time, and you could try to find out about that, that would really be 
helpful.

Regards
Thomas
