), especially those bored by asking wzbot repeatedly for current games.The idea is to create plasmoid (for KDE Plasma workspace) using QML, so with proper used of components (widgets) it could be used on all supported by Qt platforms (including some phones, Symbina, Meego, Maemo and maybe Android too, depends on current state of unofficial port for that platform), thought by default it would work for them as normal application, instead of nicely integrated gadget on desktop or panel (Windows Vista and MacOS X have similar concepts, but they implement only parts of that what is available in KDE
).How it would work and look?
Internally it would poll lobby server for list of games (interval of 30 seconds by default should be enough) and display results as list similar to that in game (though could be much more flexible and display more data later, if available).
In future it could also give notifications (for example blinking or sound) when new games appear or when appears game which properties fulfill some specified rules (like specified version, amount of players, amount of free / full slots, or containing specified strong in name - could be regular expression).
I'm going to do that anyway (since it looks a good task to get into QML finally) but if there is bigger interest I can start it earlier (like this month), also I'm open for ideas how it should look like or work.
