Hello David,

thanks for the encouragement. It is actually a good time to talk about
this, since the KDE Frameworks that we are just building are meant to be
more mix-and-match type extensions to Qt than before. For ThreadWeaver,
I plan to write a number of posts about how it can be used, and will
stress the fact that it can be used in about any C++ project.

I hope the other framework developers agree when I say that the best
time to begin advertising this is around the KDE conference this year,
which will be held together with the Qt Contributor Summit.

Cheers,

Mirko.
