DCD: Autocomplete without the IDE

I just tried it with the Kate and it's working like a charm! All
contributors keep up the good work :-) I really like the
client/server approach because it enables everyone to use his or
hers favourite editor.

Is there a blog or changelog which allows to follow the further
progress?

Cheers
André
