i've received two bug reports on plasma today. one has already been fixed (in Qt) and the other was already on the plasma tasks list for 4.0. but it did cause me to create a plasma product on bugs.kde.org.
somehow having bug reports makes plasma seem more ... officially real.
and with that, here's my unrealistic goal: keep the bug count to 0 during 4.0 and ensuring that all wishlist items are prioritized with target release versions or closed if they won't be implemented. i know how people hate the latter, but i think it's more fair to them than simply ignoring them. i promise to post reasons for all such closures and will only close after the reporter has a chance to reply.
generally, i just want to avoid the mess of reports that kicker became =)

perhaps we need some "bugs expire" function, that the reporter gets his bugs to show up every 6 months for confirmation or closing...
An admirable ambition you show here - and your approach just proves yet again, that it is about so much more than just software!
"bug expiration" is a great idea. the reporter is actively involved in determining of the issue is resolved over time, through new releases, or just reminding them that no one may be looking at their issue at the moment.
Good luck on the goal of having allways 0 bugs: as an user I really appreciate that!
Can a plasma applet have have arbitrarily placed widgets inside it like buttons and text entry boxes?
"Can a plasma applet have have arbitrarily placed widgets inside it like buttons and text entry boxes?"
yes, we have buttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons, text edits, text labels, icons, message widgets ... that you can place inside plasmoids on the canvas along with horizontal and vertical layouts to help manage geometry.
Will it be possible to use dashboard widgets or Opera widgets in Plasma in the future? I think this will be a very usable feature. And another big base of widgets.
@Marko: likely. zack already has dashboard widgets essentially working. adding it to trunk/ is pending webkit work and one or two other little things.
