Native UI for the Web

For many webservices, locally installed or ready-to-download Plasma widgets can be used to display, interconnect and remix the information. Such widgets include:

News feeds (covered by News applet in kdeplasma-addons, rssnews, others)
Social Networks:
- Twitter & Identi.ca (works, configuration needs improvement)
- more social networks

Social Networks

Social Networks conveniently include personal information topics such as contacts management, email and chat. The basic idea is to collate information from different channels and abstract away the appearance of individual services into the UI, creating a more powerful application that uses and remixes data from different sources. Technologies such as Akonadi and Plasma's DataEngines allow for normalized retrieval and caching of data. Plasma and QML are used to display and interact with the data on the device.

Tasks:
