mac.kde.org now redirects to the new community page.

I had a quick read through that page, turns out it was one I updated for KDE 
4.4 including the change to DBus, so it's only a year outdated, unlike the 
other TechBase pages which are about 2 years old.  Anyway, the community page 
now has the correct info, we just need to get MacPorts to correct their 
message.  You mentioned before that you had asked on the MacPorts list for it 
to be updated, was there any progress on that or should I open a bug with 
them?

Cheers!

John.
