Actually, I'm working in compiling qt jambi in kubuntu 9.04.
After I obtain a sucessfull build I can start working extending some class of 
qt jambi or porting some classes.

Also I have a question. what wiki we will use, mediawiki or the trac wiki ? 
While I'm waiting the compilation of qt I can port the wiki pages of gitorious 
to the new wiki.
