Sounds good. Note that we currently support Qt 4.7/4.8 while support for 
Qt 5.x is in preparation in the qt5 branch.

The majority of code is indeed C++, but we have a full-blown QML 
application (marble-touch) and some "pure" QML examples in examples/qml. 
See also the QML tab in http://marble.kde.org/dev-intro.php

Right, installing Marble and including it in .qml files like this:
import org.kde.edu.marble 0.11
is all you need to have QML load the Marble plugin for you. In case you 
install Marble in some local directory, you will have to adjust the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and QML_IMPORT_PATH environment variables as well in 
order for QML to be able to find the Marble plugin from the import 
statement above.
