The people at OSDW included Ian, Aaron (yes Aaron Aseigo), Matt Broadstone and 
Ryan Nickell.  So, essentially the Plasma folks and Ian.  The idea was to 
allow the kparts framework to load the respective scripting interpreters when 
encountering a kpart of non-C++ origin.  This would allow us to bootstrap 
non-C++ kparts into regular C++ applications without the need for handling 
the loading at the app level.

I don't know that decisions have been made one way or another, I just wanted 
to point out that this was the discussion I heard... and because I don't 
think Ian, Aaron, Matt or Ryan are on this list... I CC'd them.  They of 
course can probably give more info.

No one is saying to stop working, just wanted to keep the communication 
open :)
