You most likely did not mean it that way but I still want to point out that 
the TODO items are no good measure for the porting status. When I had some 
time to do some of the porting work, I made a table with steps I wanted to do 
before calling it finished. I need to check if I still have that table. 
Furthermore (and that's where the IRC meeting would come in) the games need to 
work properly. The last game I worked on was Kigo and it basically worked. But 
there were problems with the settings dialog. I saw the same kind of problem 
in other games but then (unfortunately ;)) I got a new job and since then I 
need to focus on learning the stuff we do here. If we did the IRC meeting on a 
Saturday, I could probably attend and check what those problems were.

This is a good idea in general. Also for the already ported games, bug reports 
are rolling in but ... well the team decreased in size dramatically since the 
KDE4 porting times. So an IRC meeting might be sparsely visited.

Check the config dialog ... regarding theme settings, IIRC.

Kolf is a bad case. It has been inherently broken for many years and was fixed 
a bit by copying in some locally modified version of Box2D. I tried to put in a 
newer version once but failed due to missing understanding of all that stuff. 
:D

In general I would have to check my table from back then to tell you more. 
Unfortunately I do not have internet at home so I have to rely on my 
workplace's internet and some free time at work.
