Hi,

I have been working a bit on the Message Indicator (MI) Plasma applet
lately.

I changed its behavior a bit: the applet is no longer disabled when no
MI-enabled application is running. Instead, clicking on it show a
sliding message explaining what it is. Right now the message looks like
this:

http://imagebin.ca/view/X3oUTG5J.html

What do you think about it? (please point out any typo!)

What I dislike is that it links to the Kubuntu wiki. This is problematic
for translations, and it may give the impression that the MI is a
Kubuntu-only tool whereas we would like other distributions to adopt it
(after all, some upstream applications have already started to include
MI support).

I can see three options:
1. Simply remove the link.
2. Write this documentation on userbase.kde.org.
3. Write this documentation as classic application documentation.

What do you think?

Aurélien
