Yeah it is very fun :) Too bad I don't have more time and in addition to 
physics also visit some programming classes at computer science 
department :( Now I have to learn all by myself and it goes quite a bit 
slow. Ah well I'll survive and come out stronger :)

I think I'm going to try to make it in a similar way as KDevelop and 
Amarok (tabs/buttons at the edge of the window that extract/contract 
when you click on them). That's also what Lee suggested and that's also 
what I was also thinking the very first time.

KDE4 libraries do compile on Windows (and on Mac OS X). Not all parts 
off course and it is still very experimental. But if your KDE4 app also 
compiles on Windows and uses only parts of KDE4 libs that compile on 
Windows then it can work.

Here are some screenshots of KDE4 apps running on Windows and Mac OS X:

Yes to get to KDE Games it has to be very useful and playable. But 
before it gets there you can put it in playground repository and there 
it doesn't have to work that well.

Absolutely.

Yeah I've read the "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" book from Eric S. 
Raymond. It is just that I still don't know where to put the code that 
keeps me waiting.

Tips and advices about C++ and general programming techniques is what I 
very much need.

Yeah I also have activity/visibility in mind. Not just for Parsek but 
for the whole Thousand Parsec project. I was just thinking what is more 
visible. If Parsek is in KDE repositories and gets the press coverage 
and developers attention there or if it is in Darcs repository here on 
thousandparsec.net.

Thanks. I hope I'll stay for years to come and make some worthy 
contribution.
