Similarly to what I've worked on the last weeks. There are different points 
to start:
-KGGZ, the core client for GGZ games, as a KDE version (already working)
-Zone, a more-in-mind-than-in-code app, to support the above one with little 
tools
-support for network games. I'm currently trying to figure out how to deal 
with e.g. Konquest, and just for fun there does now exist a KHangman, w/ 
different styles and the ability to have both multiple players in front of 
one computer and network players connected to each other.

KGGZ is part of GGZ and will not be part of KDE, as there are already about 8 
games available, most of them Gtk+ games.
The other ones are planned to be used in KDE, however most of the work did 
just start. For instance, I've integrated a connection dialog into Konqueror 
(calling it kggz_embedded), and connected it with a separate MimeType named 
".zone". Thus you can easily arrange Internet gaming sessions.

The MindX project pages (check the URL below) are currently redesigned, I'll 
inform you when the first code and documentation is online.
