I was considering opening an enhancement request to add some missing features to Kate.
Specifically, adding a word count feature is what motivated me.
Rather than file an enhancement request for adding a word count feature, I decided to
first request a list of Kate scripts that all of you find useful. The key is "find
useful" because there probably are hundreds or thousands of scripts floating around
the web that could be added to Trinity. A word count script is useful. :)
At this point I don't know whether the scripts should be added as part of tdeaddons or
posted someplace at the wiki or web site. We can decide that later. Possibly we can vote
and the most popular half-dozen can be added to tdeaddons and the remainder posted to the
wiki or web site.
If you use any such scripts, please share the name of the script and a full description.
Either attach a copy to your email or post a link to the script.
A full description is important because file names often are cryptic and do not lend well
toward understanding the script's purpose.
By the way, I found some word count script candidates:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Kate+script%3A+Word+Count?content=1360…
http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Kate-external-tools-p3788414.html
I have yet to test. :)
Thanks!

There are two "different" types of scripts you can use with Kate.
The ones in the links below which, call kate and operate on the entire
file--externally.
The ones that are called using the Kate built in "Filter Text" command
that only applies to highlighted text inside Kate--using the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+\ for instance.
Do you want both types or only those that run from external scripts,
like the examples you gave?

The US spends more money per person on health care than any other
country--BUT--ranks only 42nd in life expectancy as of 2007. Twenty
five years ago it ranked 11th.
Why is the country with the highest standard of living in the world
falling rapidly and dramatically behind the rest of the world?
Why is the cost of this "standard of living", poor health and high
levels of indoor pollution, noise, crime and stress?
I say it's the government using fear to control the population and
regulate the food industry, health industry and to dumb down the
population through the educational system.
Is it worth it? Is living high worth dying young and having a life of
miserable health quality while living in constant fear?

I don't want to limit the scope of how kate could be used. Let's embrace both
types. :)
I don't know where this discussion will lead. If we obtain a decent collection of
scripts we then decide how to make them available to Trinity users. Probably for starters
we create a wiki page and host the scripts and descriptions there.

this is where a handy kde4 feature comes to mind: GHNS (get hot new stuff).
maybe worth checking out/porting to trinity ?

ok, then I got it wrong, obviously :)

I was thinking however, since scripts are small in size, we could just at
them as defaults. It doesn't seem to be much overhead.
What do you guys think of that?

As I mentioned in a previous post, perhaps we vote and select a half dozen or dozen
scripts to include in the default packaging. The default is the scripts are disabled but
appear in the Settings configurations for the new user. The remainder of any scripts we
want to support could be available at the wiki.
This discussion now raises another point. If Trinity supports a Get Hot New Stuff option,
should we check through all of the sources and update the URL to a Trinity location?

well, that was the point where I think GHNS makes much more sense.
I don't think normal users would regularly search a wiki for addons for
individual applications.

agreed - this way would also prevent to point to outdated/inexistent
locations, or those which are intended for kde4 only (thus incompatible with
trinity).

I think in those cases it does not nee to be removed, and there is a lot of
older themes and utilities out there that could be good.

Many parts of the kde-look website have seperate subsections for kde3.X

sure - things that work with trinity should not be changed/removed/duplicated
elsewhere.
my intention was more to ensure that GHNS references in trinity actually work.
