It's good to hear that this project is going forward. When Kdenlive was considering their move to KDE, a group of us gathered some information to help them in the process. Perhaps there is a bit of useful information in there still: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uHqlLOpDXTLEHm_38Ht6JsgQEcW1eRcpQJF2Do2diNA/edit?usp=sharing Having read the summation in the wiki, I doubt this doc will be useful in full, since years have passed since then. But of course, use whatever you find useful, Jeremy.
