work-in-progress:
- About Kommander
<a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=93F720A476DF8E71">Matthias Wieser integrated</a> the cool <a href="http://dot.kde.org/1087424515/">Kommander tool</a>, which enables even very unskilled developers to quickly build GUI applications.
(they didn't make it, too much work. might become something later on?)
- About MARBLE (SoC work)

It alone had three Summer of Code projects, with <a href="http://realate.blogspot.com/">Andrew Manson</a> working on <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=58AE7448FBEEEAE0">GPS support</a>, <a href="http://carloslicea.blogspot.com/">Carlos Licea</a> on <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=DCE4DBD4A0509DC7">2D projection</a> and <a href="http://cia.vc/stats/author/muradt/">Murad Tagirov</a> busy with <a href="http://code.google.com/soc/2007/kde/appinfo.html?csaid=D67FADC741D4F4C4">KML support</a>.

- KVocTrain (from KDE-Edu) is renamed to Parley ( Parley is a discussion or conference, especially one between enemies over terms of truce or other matters).
- Parley has a new start test dialog, enabling arbitrary language combinations (wish for three years) http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2984 and http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93446
- Parley no longer needs languages set up prior to using them. Start learning vocabulary without setup hastle. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125488
