This is the status of the KDE Plasma Netbook project as of july 2009, this is still an eary prototype (many things will change drastically) but it shows in a quite good way the concept of the newspaper and search and launch activity (note that it searches both in local resources as applications and files as well as online ones as wikipedia)

isnt this basically kubuntu… which you can download for free?
Awesome, but the transparency should be reduced. It’s distracting.
The plasma binary has been altered heavily, stripping some of the unlikely-to-use features which results in greater responsiveness and smaller hard-drive footprint. KWin has also been highly modified, it seems.
Transparency should not be used on information-bearing surfaces. Hopefully the misuse and overuse of transparency is one of the things that will change.
This is awesome project, but for the netbook I want something light and fast, KDE never was lightest and fastest DE thats for sure
Judging by the positive responses you guys are on the right track !
Impressive.
My first thoughts after having a look on the screenshots were that this will be more impractical then a regular UI. Also in comparison to the iPhone UI I thought this will be not very sucessful.
However, after seeing this in motion and living color I am convinced, that this is a most outstanding UI and it will increase the user experience quite massively. I just fell in love with this.
So continue your open work, and let the community know about your progress.
Kde are back to themselves.
looks great! are there any connections to egroupware/tine/opensync planned?
KDE’s Plasma Netbook shell = Win.
Very good project
looks great
Now we see the benefits of a choice made almost 18 months ago: an easily changeable and flexible desktop shell.
