Correct, Plasma Active is not part of KDE SC, and doesn't align with its 
release schedule. Also true is that some of the work that was done in the 
Active team is in 4.7, but nothing really noticable, mostly fixes and API 
extensions.

Also, not everything that's needed by Active is currently included (not 
everything made the freeze), but that's another story.

More screenies would be cool. I'll hopefully find time tonight to transfer the 
text into www SVN, and we'll start polishing from there. I'll send a note once 
it's in, then we have tomorrow to polish it.
