Actually there is a whole lot of work that needs to get done, as you
can imagine. We've decided to not go through and just remove
Qt3Support stuff systematically since there is so much development to
do and it makes sense to do just remove Qt3Support as one comes across
it.

But... we do actually have some pretty big tasks in front of us that
you might be able to help with. MetaBundle ( src/metabundle.h/cpp ) is
now deprecated in favor of Meta::Track ( src/meta/meta.h/cpp ).
MetaBundle is what stores the metainformation for a track, so that
touches pretty much everything.

Complicating this is that we haven't really decided what to do with
the PlaylistBrowser (which still uses Q3ListView stuff, as well as
MetaBundle).

I was thinking maybe you could help with PlaylistLoader, but it
actually has too many dependencies on PlaylistBrowser stuff (so
writing this message dissuaded me of it.)

A helpful task that probably doesn't depend too much on the rest of
Amarok would be to get the libvisual visualizations to work again.
