Hi,

Luis and Leon, I know that you are still reading this list ;-)
and Michael of course.

The kdelibs4 is in a quite good shape, and so is KPovModeler. I already 
did the main porting job, KPovModeler compiles and runs stable with the 
current kde4 and there are some core programmers that keep KPovModeler 
compiling when the kde4 API changes. Therefore: It's a goot time now to 
test the new kde4 libs, KPovModeler ... and .... help porting ;-)

Two HOWTOs for compiling kde4:
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE3To4
http://edu.kde.org/development/port2kde4.php

I have here a vmware machine where my kde4 runs. kdebase is far away 
from being usable, so I compile and install only kdelibs and use fvwm as 
windowmanager.

What needs to be done?
As first porting step all deprecated Q3* classes have to be replaced 
with new Qt4 classes.
Mainly (numbers are number of occurrences):
Q3PtrList* 300
Q3ListBox* 65
Q3ListView* 58
Q3GroupBox* 24
Q3Dict* 16
Q3TextEdit* 11
Q3PtrDict* 8
Q3MemArray* 7
Q3ScrollView* 5
Q3VBox* 3
Q3Cache* 3

I already replaced quite a number of Q3PtrList<class> with 
QList<class*>, so that's my part. But any help is welcome for the other 
classes.

Second step is to replace all other deprecated methods with their 
corresponding new ones.
Third step is to port against the new kde4 API. There are a number of 
deprecated methods in kde4, but that step should be the last as kdelibs4 
is still moving.

Now the question:
Can you spend some time to help me porting and which part do you want to 
port?

Regards,
Andreas
