No. I started the port about 10 days ago after finding that the current Qt3
bindings are not really capable of doing a lot.
AFAIK there is no further KDE3 release even in question so I doubt any kde.org
projects (i.e. released with KDE as opposed to third party KDE applications)
will use them.

Yes, though I will need some input from the Qt4 binding authors un some
uncertainties in their code. Not sure if the Qt4 bindings are actively
maintained at the moment

Yes, definitely!
My main interest is using them in one of my other projects:
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1692
I consider that other project like some kind of testbed for techologies
suitable for Project Portland, i.e. having non-DE applications access DE
services.
As long as I am the only user, I could maintain the bindings in QDS's
repository.

At least most of the open source / free software world. Not so sure about ISVs
if they have lots of internal code depending on older libraries.
Lets say I am highly motivated until I switch to KDE4, which will be whenever
Debian SID gets those packages, which could be months after KDE4.0 is
released :P

Ok.
I am currently working on the D-BUS tutorial section for my bindings, I will
announce a new version including that and some cleanups tomorrow.
