They aren't all in misc: Two are in editors, one is in games, one is in=20
multimedia, one is in net and seven are in misc.

While knewsticker-scripts and konq-plugins seem to be net/www related on th=
e=20
first glance, they really aren't - or at least it's a difficult call. For=20
example not all konq-plugins deal with www or even network-related stuff an=
d=20

ts=20
also show how it can be used for tickering purely local feeds.

as=20

s=20
