nice =)

it should probably end up in kdesupport if it doesn't have any KDE libs 
dependencies itself. if it is stable enough to be shipped and used by more 
than one application, then it probably doesn't need to start in playground.

of course, you'll want to consider issues of API stability if you're going to 
be relying on it in a KDE application that ships with the base modules.

i don't see why you'd need to import the application as well. the application 
can live anywhere it wishes. this is similar to other libs in kdesupport such 
as taglib which are used by all sorts of applications that "live" all over 
the net

if advogadro would like to be brought into KDE's svn that'd be cool, assuming 
it is a KDE app =) if so, then the question is where would it go... and if it 
too is stable enough to ship a release then that would mean probably either 
extragear/edu or kdeedu (that's up to the kdeedu maintainers). either way it 
needs documentation, to use kde libs, be translatable, etc...

does that help make anything clearer? =)
