 If you don't know how you could help us here is a list (which is also in the 
 wiki):
 
 * Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged 
 for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience. 
 

I intended to help more with F8... but failed miserably.
Hopefully I'll be able to free more time on F9.

 * Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. Help us 
 reviewing so that more packages could be included. 
 
 * Testers: If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing 
 repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We 
 need your feedback to improve KDE. 

I assume that KDE4's staging ground will be kde-redhat, right?

Sorry for the delay in responding.

As a contributor and lead writer for the Fedora Docs Project, I
especially agree with the following:

 * Documentation writers: The documentation (esp. the DesktopUserGuide) is
 GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE.


+1

As the lead writer for the Desktop User Guide (or DUG), I have plenty
of work for anyone who wishes to promote the KDE side of the house as
far as default apps installed when doing a groupinstall KDE or using
the KDE LIve CD.

An easy approach is to look at the existing GNOME-centric DUG and
write up the KDE equivalent of the GNOME applications in a given
section. For example, describe how to launch and use Konqueror as a
web browser.

Don't worry about where things fit in - I can take care of the
placement of the material in the appropriate section of the DUG.

Best Regards,

The KDE-SIG needs (your) help

2007-10-29 Thread Sebastian Vahl
This is a request for participation:
The KDE-SIG [1] is atm lacking active contributors. And we really need some 
help in doing our job to provide a good KDE version in Fedora - especially 
with the upcoming KDE 4.0 and the inclusion in Fedora 9.

If you don't know how you could help us here is a list (which is also in the 
wiki):

* Packagers: There are so many interesting packages that are not yet packaged 
for Fedora. Package it to improve the user experience. 

* Reviewers: Only a few persons are doing the kde-related reviews. Help us 
reviewing so that more packages could be included. 

* Testers: If you love KDE use the development version or the updates-testing 
repository and report bugs, bugs, bugs, request enhancements or features. We 
need your feedback to improve KDE. 

* Bugs: Become a BugZapper and help us with kde-related bugs. 

* Documentation writers: The documentation (esp. the DesktopUserGuide) is 
GNOME-centered. Help us to provide an equivalent for KDE. 

* Release Notes: The few people that are working on the new KDE-Spin are quite 
busy with development issues. If you want to help us in writing the release 
notes for the next version of Fedora we would give you all the info you need. 

* Wiki: Maintain http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE and keep it updated with 
end user information. 

* Artists: To provide a matching theme for nodoka-metacity-theme and provide 
an unified desktop experience.

But this is not a complete list. If you're interested in making KDE in Fedora 
better, you're more than welcome.


The list of participants in the wiki is atm not a list of active contributors. 
When setting up the wiki the only demand was an interest in KDE to be listed 
on this page. This list would be changed in the future to be culled down to 
the list of active (or reactivated) participants. This has become necessarely 
because there are only (less or more) 3 active contributors atm (plus Than 
Ngo). But the list indicates that there are enough people helping with KDE.


If you are interested in joining the KDE-SIG please add your name to this 
list, answer to this mail, join us in #fedora-kde at freenode or attend the 
weekly KDE-SIG-Meetings (every tuesday 17:00 UTC). I will also add a topic to 
the agenda of the meeting next week to introduce new contributors. [2]
The attendance at the SIG-Meetings is of course not required. But this way we 
would know of each other. And they are also the main place of discussing the 
next steps in the development (besides fedora-devel-list).


If you have any further questions please answer to this mail or write me 
directly. And be sure: If your are willing to help you're welcome (regardless 
of your skills). :)

Sebastian

Nice!
i would like to get in.
i'm (still) not registered at the fedora wiki but will do that soon
and i will try to help with packaging stuff. i will probably need a
lot of help there to just get started but i'm more than willing to
learn that. I hope to be able to do bug zapping as well. Designing is
something that i could do right away but i like to get started with
the packaging first.

btw what are packages that need to be packaged? is there a list of them?
