[Ktechlab-devel] Porting to Qt 4 --> I'd like to help

[Richard Rondu]

Hi,

Well, while we're talking about Qt 4, I would also be glad to help.
I'm quite familiar with Qt 4 (especially with Java but I shouldn't
have any trouble going from Java to C++).

I just recently suscribed to the mailing list in order to see if there
was any work in this direction thanks to this blog post:

Regards,
Richard
