This is easy, I'll do one for KDevelop 3.4 (which will be based on kde 3.5
libs)

I'll add QWhatsThis help in the kdevelop config dialog

YES - to be included in the doc for kdevelop 3.4

yes

soon the 3.4 branch will be created (in the next few days) and we'll start
working on all that. If you cannot get the branch, we'll arrange how to work
together.
We need to precise the objectives for KDevelop 3.4: bugfixes, Qt4 support,
appwizard cleaning, templates cleaning (I intend to suppress the KBear ones
for ex), scons support? ... I'll send a separate mail to the list when the
3.4 branch is created and we can use the wiki to set up a page with tasks.

Thanks for answering my mail! I was getting desperate.
