i'm for an another API review...Akademy is near and it can be done quickely.
Is Rob Scheepmaker comes to Akademy?
We can do another round in our lib, wait a little (2 months) and move plasma
into kdelibs. The time can be used to test our api in applets especially the
new baby : Extender.

<br>
so 4.2 is here and the Big Questions come with it:<br>
<br>
Binary Compatibility<br>
============<br>
should we break binary compatibility one last time? if so that means we \
can:<br> <br>
* do one more API review (though it won't be nearly \
as drastic as the one in<br> 4.1)<br>
* add some of the new features that are coming in 4.2 in \
a more natural way.<br> <br>
and example of "more natural" is having a virtual initExtenderItem in \
Applet;<br> that's a binary incompatible change, and the alternative is to put it \
in<br> Extender (a new class) and make people subclass that. however, it would be<br>
less comfortable that, imho.<br>
<br>
Where Does It Live?<br>
============<br>
<br>
moving libplasma into kdelibs was a goal we stated for 4.2 back when figuring<br>
out what 4.1 would be. i'd like to see this happen still as it would allow<br>
more applications to use libplasma in more interesting ways.<br>
<br>
the Package* classes may want to move into khotnewstuff ... that's something<br>
we'd need to examine.<br>
<br>
ConfigXml really ought to be in libkdeui alongside KConfigSkeleton imho. (kdeui<br>
because it uses QColor; perhaps we could manage to shove it into kdecore using<br>
QVariant cleverly? hm.)<br>
