Description Jeffrey 2010-03-22 18:09:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be great if there was a setup wizard which allowed one to add a resource type (say, GMail) which would then set up Blogilo (blogspot), Kopete chat, and KDEPIM address book and mail and calendar, etc.

I would imagine that, as not all resources (i.e. Hotmail) have blog accounts in them, (or may not have chat, or whatever), this Wizard would allow a user to set up credentials and select various options for what would be set up.

Additionally, the wished-for wizard would allow you to run the wizard more than once to add additional accounts or to modify/remove accounts.

KDEPIM would set up different Identities for each.

Finally, resources set up this way would have easily-identifiable names in the Anakodi framework, so calendar resources and address books and the like would be easy to interact with.

Thanks for KDE!

As Plasma moves towards the Social Desktop, I could see this also being useful to set up Twitter plasmoids, OpenDesktop, etc all in one 'wizard' application.

Hey KDE, Apple is about to introduce this in OSX 10.7
