Hi,
I would suggest you to take a look at Plasma Next where most of the
development is happening and see what's the state there, I'll be happy to
see new improvements in that area. In Qt5 you'll probably have better API's
anyway.
Cheers!

I'd like to know where touch interface is being developed. I am aware of plasma \
active, but I am using regular desktop KDE in my touch-enabled notebook and I \
don't hope to fully use mobile. Some improvements can be made that KDE can be \
more touch friendly than Windows 8 desktop version. </div>
