Before starting with this project you should ask yourself if it is better 
to do develop it inside or outside of Qt - or in other words: what is the 
advantage of being a Qt module compared to addons like Qxt or Qwt ?

The very first issue for an existing project is about checking its 
license. At the time when I was asking myself the same question for my 
project I would have had to change the license - giving Nokia control. 
Beside the fact, that I didn't want this: any change of the license 
requires permission of all contributors to the existing code - hard to 
collect for a project with some history ( in my case 16 years ). Hope 
this has changed nowadays.

But even then you should be aware, that being a Qt module means 
administrative overhead and you should have an idea what real advantages 
to expect. Being a Qt module only because of being one doesn't make the 
project more useful or attractive to other users/developers.
