My personal opinion? At the earliest end of this year - but honestly, I doubt 
it. More probably, there will be a a "developer alpha" or some such by the 
end of 2006. One with a stabilised API but not necessarily feature complete 
or ready for production. KDE did the same thing with version 2 to give 
application developers a chance to port their apps to the new framework.

I expect KDE4 somewhen first half of 2007. That's personal opinion. There 
isn't any real roadmap yet.

IMO, Qt's help with their classes overview and their tutorials is first-class 
documentation. If you have specific questions we can take it from there. But 
I must admit I haven't done much with Qt4 personally yet.

Sounds interesting.
