Below is Jochen's reply to an email I sent him recently. I'm sure he won't 
mind me posting it here.

yes, i'm still developing. but there is almost no progress, because i had
little time in the past. i wrote a gantt module, but even that needs a lot
of work (e.g. dialogs for configuring).
currently, i'm working on a part of my dr-thesis. it's about data exchange
and data sharing and mangaging dependencies between data. i developed
a library which provides reflection and persistence for objects (all on a xml 
basis). 
this lib should be the foundation for the kproject core. so when i finished 
that work,
(in a few weeks, i hope) i can do some work on kproject.

helping me developing kproject is welcome.

So it looks like Jochen's KProject will be starting again soon. I don't know 
whether it will be totally from scratch or will use some existing code, e.g. 
the old Gantt module. If the new (cicada) KProject is also a PM app, then I 
would definitely suggest talking to Jochen to see whether collaboration is 
possible. The two projects might have different aims and desires that makes 
them incompatible, but asking is the only way to find out ;).

I originally spoke to Jochen as I was interested in finally getting a PM app 
(and a Personal Finance app :) created for KDE (KOffice maybe!), so it's nice 
to see that others are also interested in this area.

Cheers,
Sean
