I'm no C++ expert! :) I'm just now teaching myself C++. Newbie! Except for some tip-of-the-iceberg basics, I get lost walking through the code. Even if I understood C++, I don't understand how the (T)Qt-T/KDE environment intertwines together.

I'll volunteer Calvin as a C++ person. He'll have to vouch for his skill level, but he's 10x better than anything I can dream of.

Tim is a C++ Gandalf White Wizard.

There are many others lurking in this list but I don't know their skill sets.

As you noted, many of the problems we encounter likely are trivial to an experienced person. Five minutes later the problem is solved --- and everybody learns too. :)

I'm not sure we need a list. If people are subscribing to this list then hopefully the experts step forward and help. :)

With respect to the tqca package, I need help ensuring the tqt headers are found. I'll keep doing whatever grunt work is required beyond that. I tried copying how tqca-tls works, but with no success. I tried modifying the build flags too.
