Hi,

 here are my thoughts as well. :)

That's be great!

Good choice, also because it is important to work on what you like.

I agree with this.

Well, you can do as in Quanta3 or come up with an integrated solution.=20
Probably a separate widget is the easiest. In my opinion upload=20
profiles should contain also the upload treeviews for different servers=20
and the code which does the actual upload. Here a new, and often asked=20
feature, would be to synchronize the server with the local project (two=20
way synch).=20

Yes, the storage format should probably be changed. But as long as in=20
the code it is well separated, you can store right now in the .session=20
file in XML, and we can change it later to something else.=20

If you cannot find it, I'll look at the code and post the example.

You have to create separate kcm dialogs (kcontrol modules) and they=20
could be integrated then to the project options page. Examples are in=20
kdevplatform and kdevelop.
