Great! Any help is very welcome, especially the help of KDE developers.
There are a lot of jobs to do; as a C++/Qt developer you will probably be
interested in one of the KDE parts: either the source code editor (which is
a modified version of KWrite) or the window/form editor ("new" code only).
Both projects currently runs with KDE/Qt 1.x, but we hope to port them to
v2 after the release of the next version (0.1.10).
Current tasks to be done in those sub projects: bug fixes (a lot!),
a lot of details in the window editor (if you want to, I can send you my
personal 2do list, but you will probably find a lot of things, yourself),
making the source code editor read the "function configuration module" (a file
that tells it, what pre-defined and user-defined functions are declared),
completing the integration of the KWrite code in the source code editor
(it should use more of KWrite's configuration-features, should display
all relevant information in the status bar, etc) ...
Naturally, the "library like class files" (the files that are used in every
VisKProg project, though it's not a library [so our users don't have to
install extra libs]) also are C++/KDE, and there is much work to put in
also. I admit, that these classes are in very bad style, and so I suggest
not to use too much of that code when re-writing them for KDE2.

I know, these few sentences are not enough for a developer who wants
to help with one of these sub projects; so please tell me, where you are
interested in so I'll tell you some more details about that specific sub
project.

This should be really enough ;-)

Fine :-) I also thought so, when I started the project in early 1999, but 
sometimes it seemed that the project was too large for me alone (which also
made me stop to develop it several times in the beginnings)

If you want to help us, we thank _you_  ;-) BTW, if you join the team,
you will also get such a nice @viskprog.org email address (great, isn't it? 
;-) )

Kind regards,

Chris
