KMail shows the signs of the times. The code is kinda hard to read
in certain parts. But I'm having fun with it, so it somehow goes on :)

I'm more or less in the middle of the project.

Committing small stuff since the beginning. Larger commits in my branch
since a couple of weeks. I'm in branches/kdepim/kmail-soc :)

Nope. But I've been invited to describe my project on commit-digest.
I'll try to write something in the weekend.

Thomas (my mentor) is very friendly and helpful. I often meet him on IRC.
The other kdepim developers are very busy so talks are restricted to the
bare minimum. That seems fine to me: "random talking" is often superflous, 
better to write code. Nobody was unfriendly and I got some replies on the ml 
when I asked for comments. :)
