[jokosher-devel] Adding support for NewStuffManager

[Sebastian Pösterl <marduk k-d-w org>]

Hi!

I'm the maintainter of NewStuffManager[1] and I have an idea to enhance 
Jokosher.

First of all, Jokosher really rocks and it rocks even more to see that 
such a great application is written in Python.

My proposal is to enhance the user's experience by adding support for 
NewStuffManager. NewStuffManager is a D-Bus service that runs in 
background, downloads plugins for you and copies them to the right 
location. As Jokosher supports extenstion this would make perfectly 
sense to me. That way the user could easily see when updates for a 
plugin are available or browse a list of additional plugins. Then he/she 
simply clicks update or install and it's done.

Deskbar-Applet already has an optional support for NewStuffManager. So 
you could basically borrow the code from there.

I'm certainly available for further questions or even helping to 
implement support for NewStuffManager.

So what do you think about my proposal?
