Konqi and the KDE community

Note

Community.kde.org is the working area for the KDE community. It provides a place for sharing information within the community.
KDE operates three wikis, listed at https://wiki.kde.org/

Welcome to community.kde.org. Here you will find information for members of the community, including how to get involved if you aren't already.

Note: before editing the wiki, look at Help:Contribute#Organisation to see where to add content.
