  The main website is ktechlab.org, especially the wiki section. You can  
find there some documentation about the project.

  On sourceforge you can find the bug tracker and the SVN repository.

  I'd also recommend to read the mailing list's archive, so you can know  
more about the ktechlab's history.

  There is much to do around the project. Between the current objectives is  
to port ktechlab to KDE4, make the codebase maintainable, fix more bugs,  
...
