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. 
Probably a separate widget is the easiest. In my opinion upload 
profiles should contain also the upload treeviews for different servers 
and the code which does the actual upload. Here a new, and often asked 
feature, would be to synchronize the server with the local project (two 
way synch).

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

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 
could be integrated then to the project options page. Examples are in 
kdevplatform and kdevelop.
