Great to hear of all this work and energy in Kdenlive!

Please inform the release-team mailing list (or ping me) if and when you plan 
to participate in the 15.04 release of the KDE Application. Would be great to 
have you in.

IRC meetings seem to be very good for coordination work. We just started 
regular IRC meetings for KDE PIM and the KDE Continious Integration 
(build.kde.org) system.

There is no "KDE5". You probably mean the KF5-based version of Kdenlive that 
should work on other workspaces as well and not just Plasma 5.
