I wrote once here in kde-devel (that was in conjunction with the Magellan
screenshots) that Teodor Romeo Mihai is currently neither able continue
developing Magellan nor take part at these discussions because he is
moving into another country and is therefore away for a few weeks. And
this does _NOT_ mean that he's not interested in colaborating, no, just in
contrary: He told me that he's in fact interested in using component
technology.

And beside this you also wrote in your README in empath/corba_test that
the KMail(2) authors aren't interested in colaborating.
But I do _NOT_ think that this is true, it's perhaps just that they might
be busy with preparing KMail for the upcoming 1.1.1 release, and they're
doing a great job!

I agree.
