I would like to ask this same question too. Looking at the SVN, it seems that 
mostly header cleanups have been done over the past few months. The code 
compiles, but trying to launch the spellchecker from KDE4 apps always leads 
to a crash. Did not try with /branches/work/sonnet-refactoring though.

My experience in KDE/Qt coding is currently limited to writing some 
experimental KDE apps a few years ago and recently, as a study project, one 
application with Qt 4.2. But I am willing to learn more, and having working 
Enchant-based spellchecking in KDE is something that is personally quite 
important for me. So I'd like to hear if someone is already working on this, 
and help in any ways I can. I will also try to figure out the current sources 
on my own and sumbit patches, if I manage to get anything done.
