I suppsoe that the title of this thread should be "Fork of KDE3/Qt3. I haven't 
heard of anything like what you suggest. Honestly I don't think it's feasible 
to continue developing KDE3 doing a fork  because:

1. First of all, I find much easier to fix KDE4 than to continue developing 
KDE3. Notice that KDE3 has million of lines of code!
2. As in most Open Source software, lots of KDE applications are in need of 
more developers. And that's talking about KDE4. Having restricted resources 
for KDE4, finding enough of them for KDE3 seems highly unrealistic to me.

Good luck with that though, I'm still using KDE3 at the moment (with some KDE4 
apps), and that's being a KDE4 developer.

Cheers,
       Eduardo Robles Elvira.
