And I thought you weren't a fan of pork ;)</bad joke>

Maybe. But it's good to talk a bit more about the PIG. I think it is very important to have a PIG for plasma. All applications following the PIG (being PIG-compliant) will look, feel and behave like other PIG-compliant apps, thus the PIG will ensure a consistent experience for Plasma. So someone should coordinate work on the PIG. I propose to call him/her the PIG master. He/she and his/her fellow PIGs will write the PIG, and ensure all Plasmoids follow the PIG.

Gosh, what a freakingly cool acronym...
