I haven't had problems receiving messages to the list.  However, I did 
accidentally send a message to Alessio instead of the list.  I've attached it 
here:

I used that book when I was learning Qt as well! :)  One caution: it
covers Qt 2, and we are now up to Qt 3.2, so some things are different
now.  Still, the book will give you a good introduction to the API and
the very cool signal/slot mechanism.

The Qt and KDE APIs make it really fun to program, IMO.  Both have
excellent online documentation:
http://doc.trolltech.com/
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/libraryref.html

The Qt examples ($QTDIR/examples) are also a good resource, but be aware
that we do a lot of things differently in KDE, compared to "pure" Qt
programming.

You can also ask us questions on kstars-devel, of course.  Or on IRC.  I
haven't used IRC much, but I've been thinking about starting a #kstars
channel, would you guys be interested in that?

Hopefully the others will chime in with more bits of wisdom for you :)

Good luck,
Jason
