I organized the porting in a way, that I completely review the existing 
source-code. The GUI will be completely rewritten (that's what I started) and 
I will see, how much of the back-end stuff can be used. Since you started the 
refactoring of the back-end data structure, everything has to be reviewed and 
some parts rewritten. All that doesn't effect the front-end for now. All the 
new GUI parts need some interfaces implemented to fit to our data-structure.

All in all I want to have the port (nearly) finished, before moving to kde-edu. 
At the moment I have a local mercurial repo, where I commit my changes and I 
will sync that with the sourceforge.net svn repo from time to time. (Since 
there is nothing to see yet, there is nothing in svn for now.)
