Well I'm currently looking for developers for my IRC Client Aki.

I am interested in helping out with KDE.  What are some projects that
desperately need help?  Or even projects that dont need help.  A list of
new projects (or old) that are shaping up pretty good would be most
appreciated.

Hi Shawn, I have (~personal~) lists of work which should be done in KDE:

http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/ImportantWorkToBeDone

There are simple tasks like bugfixing or organizing reports, but you
can even pick one of the unmaintained applications and take a look on
it trying to improve it (if you want to become its maintainer later)

You can also take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute

In any case, communicate to the developers about what thing you
decided to work on so we can guide you and help you :)

Thanks for your interest in helping us.

Regards
Darío Andrés (bugs.kde.org)

The most reported regression from KDE3 seems to be the missing print
dialog. It is no longer possible to say "print pages 17-30,42-47,51-59
but only the odd pages". Another issue is that people got used to
Alt+F2, 5+4, ENTER to get the result of a mathematical expression (9 in
this case). Now they have to type a = sign first (which requires
combining 2 keys on most keyboard layouts). Then there are also
regressions that some expression that were calculated correctly in KDE3
now give totally bogus results. Another regression is the broken
directory navigation in Konqueror (bug #213137). Something that is
probably simple to fix is the enabled state of some buttons in the web
shortcut configuration (bug #213129). Or that konqueror saves partially
written completion texts when going back from a web form (bug #21323).
Something that could be really difficult is to fix text selection in
khtml (bug #213246).

Hi Shawn,

We are also looking for maintainers in KDE-Edu for KTouch (touch typing) and
KmPlot (equation plotting tool), both are orphans.
First a new maintainer could fix a few bug reports to get to know the code.
Then there could be some features done such as KNewStuff integration. We could
also try to see how to integrate the social desktop with Edu tools and vice
versa (that's more generic but often a single app opens the road).
You'll benefit from all the support both from the KDE-Edu team and from KDE and
we plan to meet in real life in 2010 so you'll get to know other people!

Anyone else who is interested, feel free to join KDE-Edu. We also need non-
developers! We have positions for webmaster, promotion, icons and graphical
stuff. Again, you would be part of a dynamic team and would help
making/promoting tools that are used by tens of thousands of students all over
the world!

Anne-Marie

I've got this covered, I'll be pushing upstream in the next month or two for
hopeful inclusion in Qt 4.7, see
http://qt.gitorious.org/~odysseus/qt/odysseus-clone/commits/advanced-page-
selection

I think Konquorer is in need of a lot of work, both in khtml and in the gui
(session management, ad-blocking, etc), I'm sure they would appreciate any
help.

John.

Hi,

See http://wiki.debian.org/kdelibs4c2aRemoval

Personally I would like to see ported some applications of the above list
ported to KDE 4; most of them are quite dead right now and some of them are
interesting for my personal use. You might want to take over some 3rd party
app and include it in extragear later.

Also, I heard that quanta and krusader were looking for developers, weren't
they?

Cheers, J.M.

I don't think kolourpaint has a maintainer. I see the odd bug-fix commit, but
not much active development.

Yes I think Quanta https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta are looking
for developers. They are in the process of porting to KDE4 but needs manpower,
and a lot of web coders are missing Quanta.

Yes, work on quanta would rock pretty hard. If you need help with the
kdevplatform stuff, hop by to #kdevelop or ask on our ML.
