KDE.org/KDE Forums

KDE Community Forums is the official forum board for KDE. This page contains some useful information for developers and contributors who wish to use the forums.

Get a developer badge

Shiny badge

Developer badges are used to easily identify KDE developers in the forum.

To request a badge, simply send a PM to the Administrators group and tell us which areas you are involved in. You can also poke us on IRC, see #Contact the forum team.

Request a new forum

We welcome developers and contributors who wish to start a new forum section for their application or project. The prerequisites are few and the steps extremely simple.

Prerequisites

1. The application or project should be related to KDE
2. There should be enough interest to fill the forum
3. At least one person involved with the application or project must be willing to moderate the forum

Submitting a request

Submit a report with the following information:

• Name of the new forum
• User names of the people who are willing to moderate

The requests are considered on a case-by-case basis but usually there it is no problem. When in doubt, just ask.

Subscribe to RSS feed

One way to follow the activity in a forum is to subscribe to a RSS feed. KDE Community Forums lets you specify exactly which posts will appear in your feed.

1. Click on Feed
2. Select your forum in the "Search in forums" list
3. Click on "Generate Feed Url"
4. Copy the Url to your feed reader, for example Akregator.
