Welcome to the KDE Community Wiki! This is the working area for community members and contributors. It contains information to collaborate on projects and goals.

This wiki contains guides for getting involved with the community, setting up a development environment for building KDE software, reporting bugs, translating software, and getting in touch with different KDE projects and teams.

If you are interested in how to use KDE Frameworks and libraries for your software, please take a peek at the TechBase wiki for guides and tutorials.

Note

Before editing the wiki, look at Help:Contribute#Organisation to see where to add content. KDE operates two other wikis, listed at https://wiki.kde.org/
