[Ktechlab-devel] Project status and plans

[Claus Andersen]

Thanks for the update. 
Im glad to see you are progressing steadily with KtechLab.

I wish I could help with the source code, but I don't have the skills.

Regards

Claus

> Fortunately the current round of distributions with long-term-support
> include Qt4, but most probably at some point Qt4 will be abandoned.
