comments/thoughts:

* you probably want to post these to plasma-devel where the plasma devs can=
=20
discuss it with you more

* i like the mockup for the new main page, though there are several things=
=20
that we would probably end up tidying up if the project is accpted (though =
the=20
"Show on startup" checkbox can be removed;  the Resume should probably list=
=20
the last N items directly (why make them go through another step?); etc...)

* C++ is not a target language (eliminating all those problems); this is fo=
r=20
scripting only. KDevelop and other IDEs are much, much better for C++ than=
=20
plasmate ever will or can be given its design goals.

* i don't think it makes sense to make the user immediately fill in their=20
author information, etc. in the current implementation, this is just anothe=
r=20
editor available to them and they can immediately start working on their=20
project. immediacy is _everything_ for plasmate. it should be one click and=
=20
you're working on your code.

* some of the things in your proposal are already implemented, such as=20
creating a new plasmoid.
