I'm afraid I haven't done anything since last year at the conference in 
Brno. I missed the La Coruna Akademy this year. Here is where I think 
the project has got to:

* The smokegen tool has been ported to Qt5.

* Most of the smoke libs for Qt5 generate and build, but I was stuck 
with a compile error in one of the Qt libs that I couldn't fix

* The is some more work needed on the cmake stuff with the Qt5 smoke 
modules to make it less hacky

* I was working on redoing the runtime generation of QMetaObjects to 
build the current Qt5 version of them in the qtruby-3.0-qt5 branch of 
QtRuby. Once signals and slots are working, I don't think QtRuby 3.0 for 
Qt5 was that far off from being useful.

* I need to resubscribe to kde-bindings - I think this email will 
bounce. I can't remember the email password for the email I used for 
kde-bindings as it was on a laptop I had stolen. I'll try and re-subscribe.
