Ok, I can write some documentation in the process. In the meanwhile, I'll try 
to wrap up what I think dnd should provide for Plone, and send that to this 
list  as a draft. Or I could add it to the documents on the KSS project site.

Yeah, I know the coming Plone release is somewhat of a burden on the 
developers... Anyway, next week or the week after would be fine. We have a 
project coming up that wishes to use our Mlango framework for a dashboard, 
and we would like to use some of the budget to make Mlango use KSS. If that 
involves refactoring KSS DnN, that's ok with us. This project is scheduled to 
be finished and of august, so starting in some one or two weeks is good 
enough.

We used the library on http://tool-man.org/examples/, and wrapped this stuff 
in some script of our own, to be able to do the snap-to-grid stuff that our 
dashboard requires. However, it doesn't look like the best maintained lib in 
the world, and a better bet would be to look at something else. I'll have a 
look at your suggestions.
