+Main goals:
+	*) easy extendability
+	*) common look and feel for common tasks
+
+**************************
+
+Workflow importing : 
+Step 1:
+	a)
+		Project->Import
+			-> File
+			-> Connection 
+		==> All  types
+
+	b)
+		RMB item group in navigator->Import
+			-> File
+			-> Connection
+		==> Only type of item group
+
+------
+File based:
+Step 2:
+	*) Lookup of any ImportSource plugin capable handling any of the possible types
+        *) Filling of mime filter list on file dialog page
+	*) Loading of plugin previously looked up for handing specified file
+Step 3:
+	*) Showing user all possible imports, eg all tables from a database
+	*) Allowing source specific configuration, eg range selection in a kspread document
+Step 4:
+	*) loading import GUI plugin for destination kexi mimetype 
+	*) Allow the user to choose how to import
+			eg for tables:  import new table,
+					append data to an existing table
+						column remapping, renaming, ...
+Step 5:
+	*) doing import
+		tables	: handing the chosen configuration over to PiggZ's kexidb-import architecture
+		*	: GUI plugin is responsible for importing directly or loading an additional, NON visual plugin
+Step 6:
+	*) DONE
