Currently the Kdenlive/MLT interface is a really small piece of code, so it 
shouldn't be too hard to update it, and Kdenlive already works with timecode 
instead of frames in most of its parts.

Yes, I think it would be good to release a last KDE3 based Kdenlive that 
includes as most fixes as possible. I am ok to work on it so that we could 
release a KDE3 based Kdenlive and a new MLT together.

Excellent news. I will happily kill kdenlive_renderer in favor of inigo!

I am currently not very present on mailing lists and forums, but it's mainly 
because I spend my time on the KDE4 version, wich is progressing nicely, so I 
am very excited to hear that you are making progress on MLT!
