Hmmm, well if by "extensive plugin architecture" you mean put bash script in 
directory then yes, I have been putting together scripts/ a tool to find 
problem in KDE's source (well any qt source for that matter).  As for tips 
files... what do you mean.  What should be looked for?  What problems do they 
have?

You can check it out here.  It contains lot of links and tons of info about 
what it is.  The scripts are in kdenonbeta/kdetestscript (also linked in the 
report)

P.S. It is kind of disturbing how many kde source files don't have a copyright 
in them.  And from what I understand, the AUTHORS file doesn't count unless 
explicitly stated in each file like: "Copyright: all names listed in AUTHORS 
file".  Also "Author: foobar <bla@foo.com>" doesn't count either sense I know 
in the past I have done work for companies and even though I am the Author I 
do not hold the copyright to the code so I have always listed both me as 
author and the company as copyright holder.  So if any source files from your 
application is listed *please* updated its header with copyright if it is 
currently missing them (and fix other problems too :).

P.P.S  Feel free to help out with more test scripts or making any of the ones 
listed in the TODO.
