I'm also interested by creating a Qt+QML app with LOKit : I would like 
to use it for making UX prototypes :-)

We are not alone : Canonical just announced that they start to integrate 
LOKit as a plugin of their DocViewer app [1].
It seems Bjoern is involved in this project ?

I found the code of the plugin [2], but I have no knowledge how to use 
it to create a standard basic app.

Hope this helps,

Michel
