No longer true as of today :)
It has now changed from "needs-GGZ-implementation" status 
to "should-work-and-bugs-should-be-reported" status (except for UI things).
I've successfully won a game last night against the default server AI.
Where you could definitely help is to change the KReversi AI into a static 
library with Qt-only dependencies. We could then offer it as a 2nd AI choice 
on the server.

Hope it can be resurrected soon!

There are no compile-time dependencies, only run-time tools are needed.
On Debian, it's "apt-get install ggz", followed by launching "ggz". Change to 
the Reversi room, and it'll offer you some clients. Then run "make install" 
in the KReversi dir and it should offer you an additional client. Make sure 
to run the "ggz" command in the environment which has all the KDE4 paths set 
up.
