Just a quick question, I tried to connect to freenode.net (port 6667), but
was unable. I used mirc. Is the port wrong?

there really weren't that many fundamental API changes from 2.2. to 3.1.
some 
header files changed, but nothing too egregious... just make sure you are
use 
kapplication.h instead of kapp.h and that sort of thing... but the basic 
concepts (KConfig, XMLUI, KAboutData, KApplication, KMainWindow, etc) all 
remained. some KDE2 applications required nothing more than a recompile for 
KDE3. there is lots of KDE3 code to look at for examples, and there is
up-to-
date API documentation at developer.kde.org.

also, if you have a full-time connection to the 'net, you can jump on IRC 
(freenode.net) and join one of the KDE devel channels (e.g. #kde-devel)
where 
quite a few people hang out discussion KDE3 development issues...
