+ <sect2 id="plugin-intro-assumptions">
+ <title>Assumptions</title>

+ <sect2 id="plugin-intro-overview">
+ <title>Overview</title>
+ <para>
+ What you will be doing is actually something simple: you are making a library for KDE. This library defines a &quot;Service&quot; that is provided for &katapult; and can therefor be used and called by &katapult;. All of your code will be compiled and then combined into a library (.lo, .so) by <application>KDevelop</application>. It will be added into the $KDE_LIBS/trinity/ directory, and a .desktop &quot;service definition&quot; file will be placed in $KDE/share/services/ so that &katapult; can load your plugin.
