== Contacting The Community ==
If you'd like to take the next step in contributing to KDE, help triage all those bugs that people are filing! By separating the wheat from the chaff, you will help developers figure out what bugs they need to work on and help them get the information they need to fix them. You don't need any programming experience to triage bugs, and it's a perfect introduction if you want to eventually become a developer but don't feel like your programming experience is good enough yet.
