Hi,

I've just joined this list. I'm willing to help with the kde4 port too.
Please make a repository public or ask sysadmin to import whatever work in
progress you have to kde svn.

Just a little bit of misinformation to correct here though: Akonadi is not
for storage. It's just a cache of data stored elsewhere. Periodically,
Akonadi updates the real data storage with what is in the Akonadi cache.

However, I believe nepomuk can be used to store data, and it and akonadi are
supposed to be able to work well together. Might make sense to store that
kind of data in nepomuk storage. I'm not very up to date on nepomuk yet
though.

Best regards,

Steve.
