Kdelibs hasn't changed drastically between 3 and 4, so that should be no 
problem. An overview of the changes is at 
http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/KDE4PORTING.html

We need help with general KDE 4 porting. If you start a KDE 4 application, it 
shouldn't take you long to notice a bug, especially if you try as many 
functions as possible.
For example:
-the layout of KOrganizer's mainwindow is broken
-dragging messages from the message list to the folder tree in KMail doesn't 
  work
-creating a new contact in KAddressbook and then trying to right-click->edit
  crashes KAddressbook

Crashes are probably easiest to fix, but there are many bugs which shouldn't 
be too hard to fix as well.
I suggest you pick any app which you prefer and just start fixing the obvious 
bugs.

If you haven't read them already, there are some nice tutorials on KDE 
techbase.
Building KDE4:

Using KDevelop with KDE4:

We are looking forward to your first patch.


Regards,
Thomas
