Please introduce yourself and your role in KDE

Could you give us an overview of the bindings available to KDE developers, who maintains them and their maturity?

How are language bindings created?

There are a few unfamiliar terms when looking at bindings: sip, smoke, VeePee, kalyptus. What are these?

KJSEmbed markets itself as being paticularly suitable for scripting within applications. What makes it suitable for this and can other bindings do the same?

There has been a lot of work on Ruby bindings recently, what makes this a good platform for KDE development?

What are the plans for bindings in Qt 4 and KDE 4?

What are some good examples of usage of KDE bindings?

What is so wrong with using C++?

Do you think KDE's libraries will ever be written in something other than C++?

Do you think Trolltech will ever promote any bindings in the same way they promote C++?

How can a new developer help with KDE bindings?

write some tutorials...
