Hi.  Since late December (IIRC), knetload and kcpuload have been imported into 
KDE CVS (in kdeextragear-2).  I had planned to start working on converting 
these apps into panel applets as requested on kde-devel at that time, with 
the possible hope of eventually bringing them into the official KDE 
distribution.

I've since discovered your knetmonapplet which basically seems to have done 
this already.

How would you feel about merging the two projects and continuing to work from 
the kdeextragear CVS, providing both CPU load and network load panel applets?

What I've done with kcpuload/knetload amongst other things is rearrange the 
code so it's more maintainable and well documented, but more importantly so 
that kcpuload and knetload can share as much code as possible (through 
generic classes such as StatDock and StatPopup).  Others have also provided 
patches for both kcpuload and knetload so that these apps can work under 
operating systems other than linux+/proc.

So I guess what would be nice is if we could merge the projects to use your 
applet code, split out code that's not netload-specific into separate classes 
and then build a similar kcpuload applet around them, and also use the 
statistics-collection classes from KDE CVS that have support for alternative 
environments.

Of course I'll be happy to help out with this effort if you agree (I'm 
currently looking after kcpuload/knetload in KDE CVS).

What do you think about this?

Ben. :)
