Adding a Proposal

Please only add proposals you are willing to mentor!

When adding an idea to this section, please try to include the following data:

• a brief explanation

• prerequisites for working on your project if any
• if applicable, links to more information or discussions
• your name and email address for contact
• time to complete the proposal

The proposals should be ordered by area:

• • Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
  • Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
  • Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
  • Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
  • Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
  • Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
  • User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

If you have a good idea for a proposal but are not going to mentor it, get in contact with relevant team/contributor first.

Ideas

Outreach

Amarok

Amarok: Migrate content from amarok.kde.org/wiki to various KDE wikis

The content that is still useful should be moved to: community.kde.org/Amarok, userbase or techbase depending on target audience.
Links to be made from a new page on amarok.kde.org linked to from the site's menu.

Amarok: Make a "Team" page

Based on information from Amarok's "About" dialog, various social networks such as openDesktop.org, and talking to team members, make a "Team" page on Amarok's project website, like [1] or [2]. We're specifically interested in a nice design and layout, and can fill out the data ourselves later on.
