The objective of this guide is to present all information required to make the experience of writing KDE documentation as easy as possible. The next chapter gives some information about what skills you'll need for the task. It is important to note that this guide is a joint effort of the KDE English Documentation Team and the KDE Quality Team. You can ask for support from both teams at any time.
The KDE English Documentation Team exists to provide end-user documentation for the whole of KDE. It's a big task, but an important one. Although KDE aims to be easy to use, not everything is obvious without some help, and, in a project this big, even an experienced user can't know every corner of KDE.
The team is made up of people doing several different tasks:
Writing documentation for individual applications
Writing wider documentation for the whole of KDE (like the User Guide, or this document).
Proofreading and/or updating documentation to ensure that it is correct and up-to-date.
The KDE Quality Team provides support for new contributors, and to coordinates the efforts of the volunteers. The KDE Quality Team Website provides guides to help you with some general development tasks, such as getting the sources, Building KDE From Source Step By Step, and Working with CVS, etc... If these guides are not sufficient, and you are having problems with KDE development, we provide support for new contributors at the KDE Quality mailing list, <kde-quality@kde.org>, or on IRC in the channel #kde-quality on irc.freenode.net.
