Hi :) You might not know me, I definitely don't know most of you, but I've been watching the plasma-process from time to time. And to be honest: I really want to join you guys. However, my KDE programming knowledge is not that big. I am quite experienced in C++, and familiar with QT, although there is always someone better, and especially in the KDE-family.
I do want to join, as far as I know there is no job-interview before joining, but to really help out, I have to be familiar with the plasma-background. I have developed an applet once, a couple of months ago, but as far as I know, that's almost everything. I thought it might be a good idea to develop an applet (and engine) for a random purpose, just to get familiar with Plasma, I'm thinking about an applet which displays the status from a sabnzbd server (http://www.sabnzbd.org). The API of sabnzbd is quite good, so I can concentrate at learning Plasma. After that, I'm not really sure what to do next. I have seen some tasklists (e.g. http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/Tasks), maybe it's a good idea to pick one of those and see how far I get. But I'm not really sure about all of this. I have a couple of questions: Is the process which I have in mind a good idea? Am I too optimistic, because Plasma is too hard (as far as I've seen, it's quite readable, and it just makes sense). I know there are some mentors for KDE, is there also a mentor for Plasma, or can I do the learning process on my own? Feel free to comment on anything I wrote, I sent this mail basically on two purposes: To get to know you guys a bit better, and, to be honest, I'd like to be a bit in the picture. Maybe someone has a small bug which should be easy to fix, and good to learn. I really look forward to see some response :) Henk te Sligte _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
