Which branch should I keep up with ?

[Kun Xi]

That would be very nice to put scripting into KDE 3.5. Should I merge
the soc-kde-scripting
to 3.5 branch now or continue development and merge it later ？

The deadline for Soc is Aug 30. I am not quite sure how many
components in kontact
suite would have the scrpting feature, in fact, it is not so difficult
to add the script engine,
but it would take a little time to expose the objects. My current
approach is to to make
KAB, KOrganizer and KMail and Kontact work. Or at least KAB and
Kontact work at the
end of the Aug. I would like to continue this work after SoC if I am
regarded as a qualified
KDE developer.

Best regards,

Kun Xi
