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...
