Yes, the information on kontact.kde.org is very dated.

You could for example read Danny Allen's KDE Commit-Digest that's 
published regularly on dot.kde.org. It covers not just KDE PIM, but all 
of KDE. Nevertheless, it's probably the best source for information 
about current development in KDE PIM. Of course, you can also read this 
mailing list to get some information. Or, if you are interested in 
development, have a look at pim.kde.org (which is mainly meant for 
developers while kontact.kde.org's focus is the users).

Note, that we will transfer most if not all of the contents of the 
kontact.kde.org to userbase.kde.org (a wiki). Anne has already 
transferred some of the contents. This will make it much easier to keep 
the pages up-to-date because anybody will be able to help.

FWIW, we have tried to find a webmaster for many years and even though 
from time to time someone willing to help popped up, soon afterwards he 
vanished again probably because he got frustrated about getting no 
input from us, the developers. I'm putting all my hopes into 
userbase.kde.org now.
