Hello,

I'm glad to hear that more people are interested in SoC progress :)

I'm participating in SoC but I've largely stayed out of all SoC
related discussion boards and blog sites. they are rarely on-topic or
contain anything useful for me, so I spend most of my time idling on
irc or reading kde-mailing lists. A lot of my questions have already
been asked :)

I don't currently run a developer blog, but if I start one I think I'd
try to add it to planetkde. You wouldn't want to read it at the moment
anyhow, it would be a lot of "Somebody want to explain CMake?" and not
very many exciting announcements/screenshots at this point (well, it
looks decent now but it doesn't do any of the cool stuff yet :)

If people are looking for a bit of a progress report, well the program
more or less looks like what it is in the proposal (
http://sheldon.hygred.com/soc/ ) with a new mousewheel zoom sort-of
feature that I hadn't intended to implement when I made the mockups.
All the pretty floating things don't work yet - focus is being put on
appointments. Integration with what other people are doing/have done
is something I'm working on.

Any ideas, suggestions, questions, feel free to email me or find me on IRC

Thanks,

Sheldon
