Hi Richard and welcome to the KDE community! :)
As for finding places to get pointers, the forum
(https://discuss.kde.org) and the chat rooms
(https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#kde-community:kde.org) would be the best
places to check out. There is also the developers' mailing list
(https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel) for more technical
questions.
Regards,
Ben

Hi Folks,
I've been a Linux users / sys-admin (and a lot more) since Red Hat
1.2, with years of 'nix experience before that. However, I'm new to
KDE and am so glad I switched!
I could write a testimonial about WHY I switched for good, the, oh,
20+ other desktops I evaluated, the two other modern desktops I
actually tried (other than GNOME, which I've suffered with since time
immemorial), but I'll skip that unless anyone asks about it.
I get it that this list isn't for "technical issues," so instead I'm
asking for pointers on _where_ (or how, etc) the best places are to
address these technical topics. So, just generally speaking:
1) I like the Stack Exchange family of web sites with their Q/A format;
does the KDE community have something like that?
2) I have noticed that the GNOME community, such as it is, doesn't
actually appear to listen to their user community much - unless, of
course, you're a paying customer of Red Hat, which I haven't been
for a
long time now; Does the KDE community have a place to discuss the
bigger-picture issues and creative ideas for direction? I have a
lot of
perspective, solid feedback, and straight-forward, simple-enough
suggestions for some future features that I'd like to put out there
somewhere that'd actually be useful.
3) I probably haven't looked hard enough but is there a road-map of what
the current thinking is on the direction of KDE that I can take a look
at?
4) I have a few non-problem issues that I haven't found in any how-to yet
that I'd like to address promptly or they'll just drive me nuts.
In particular and as a perfect example: A number of items to be found
in the Launcher's (default?) categories are in the wrong locations and
in addition to fixing these, I'd like to add some that are missing.
But
the "edit" feature is bewildering to say the least! Can I add
categories? ...A pointer to something helpful on this particular
point would be nice, but in general, is this a place to ask questions
like that?
Thank you much,
Richard
