Aha. This (from kde-pim) may explain all the KDE2 questions we've had on
the KPilot list the last few days. I'll try to explain the status of
KPilot once more:

KPilot 3.1.x is the KDE1 version of KPilot. It is in /home/kde/kpilot on
the CVS server, and is under active development both in terms of features
and bugfixes (they go hand-in-hand). I'm the coordinating developer for
that effort. My primary purpose is to get KPilot 3.2.0 out and stable for
KDE1. This will be "real soon now".

KPilot 4.x is the KDE2 version of KPilot. It is in /home/kde/kdepim/kpilot
on the CVS server. I don't know if it is under development. Dan Pilone,
the original author of KPilot, is working on a KDE2 port, persumably on
that source tree. He's a busy guy though, and I got the impression that
the port -- more like a complete rewrite to integrate all the nice
features of KDE2 including parts -- was turning out to be more difficult
than Dan expected.

If "compiles with Qt 2" is sufficient, then I can start applying the
porting guide to KPilot 3.1, so that KPilot 3.1 could be included with
KDE2. If it needs more, then we have a problem. But I wouldn't even know
what is "more" for KDE2 [see below].

What are the things that have to happen, then? I'd guess:

1 docbook docs
2 an up-to-date gettext file
3 Qt 2 compliant

We're working on 1, because the KPilot user's guide was stylistically
rather different from the rest of the KDE1 docs. We're even trying to do a
French translaton already (even though there are no localized French
binaries for KPilot).
