- What is the problem this project tries to solve?
- What is the scope of this project (how big or small is the effect?)
- Who are the primary users and how will they benefit?
- How is this solution better than other solutions (what we have now and how other projects solve the problem)
- How will it effect other parts of KDE?
Related Work
References to related research or other projects that will back up your proposal.
- If this is a list of links to publications, they should be referenced in the detailed description
- Alternatively, this can be an annotated citation list (short 2-3 word summary of relevant conclusion of each paper), or a literature review summary itself (with relevant citations listed at the end)

Detailed description of user requirements and needs will also go here, including any workflow or UI details specific to user groups.
Implementation

Affected Modules*
