I think there is a plan for a KDE 3.5.7 release in few month, but no new 
feature are allowed unless they satisfy the requirements

Personally, i'm not.
I have no time to give to Kopete ATM.

the KDE4 branch, and specially Kopete need lot of work, and it's there the 
help is the most welcome

Even if kdelibs is still moving, it's (IMO) a reasonably slow moving. It just 
require you to compile kdelibs every Tuesday

definitively not.
But it's just because nobody is really working on it. 
I think it will not require much effort to have an usable Kopete (but still 
far from complete and stable, but that depends the point of view)


I perfectly understand your position against the current situation.
I am feeling almost the same.
It's  more fun to add some feature to something working, than doing 
huge "invisible" work on something which is not fully working.
But anyway, KDE4 will probably never be released if nobody work on it :-(

I'll be happy if you come back in the Kopete team.
I hope this e-mail will not discourage you anyway.
