It's released under sun binary code license, so i suppose we can't expect any 
source code to be released:

Plexglobe is a really great (and huge) application. 

What i'm working on is a bit different. I'm working on a small framework to 
add diferent calendar systems support to kde libraries. It would allow for 
current applications date localization and, it would be marvellous ;) ,  the 
future development of apps such as plexglobe. Currently, KOrganizer support 
if a work in progress...

It's true... i'll add language localization as soon as possible...  0:)
