Hi,

I still have on my TODO list the removal of the buggy=20
flake/commands/KoShapeRotateCommand which is obsolete since we moved to=20
using matrixes in KoShape.

The problem is that Kivio has a docker to show shape-properties that uses=20
it.

This actually shows a bigger problem; applications are not making their=20
dockers plugins and thus applications start to recreate functionality=20
that they could trivially use from another application.  This most likely=20
is due to a lack of coordination and knowledge.

So; I want to make you all aware that everything that you create in your=20
own application which operates on common infrastructure (like shapes) you=20
should consider making a plugin.  There is no need to move it out of your=20
application dir. You can just follow the docs on how to create a plugin,=20
location in svn is irrelevant.

I don't expect everyone to now rush and do all this work, so I went ahead=20
and created a wiki page to register all the dockers we have. This way if=20
you want a certain functionality you know you can work with an already=20
exisiting piece of code instead of starting from scratch.  Which is=20
pretty important since I now see that there are 4 classes that aim to=20
allow the user to position/rotate a shape :(

Please describe your docker (plugin or not) here;
