I'm not sure I've understood everything. Anyway you should produce a patch
through diff at the moment you want to show us what you have done. After
having done so you'll publish the patch on reviewboard.kde.org. You can keep
working and eventually update your patch  through reviewboard since it
allows it. Anyway you'd better wait for devs suggestion before keep working
on the same piece of code the patch is about. You'll most likely receive
from us some hints.

Hope I've been clear in the explanation.
