Welcome to the KDE Community Wiki! KDE is a world-wide community of software engineers, artists, writers, translators, and creators who are committed to the development and distribution of Free Software. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place!
This is the working area for community members and contributors. It contains information about collaboration on projects and goals.
This wiki contains guides for getting involved with the community, making a living contributing to KDE, 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're interested in how to use KDE Frameworks and libraries in your own software, take a peek at the KDE Developer Platform for guides and tutorials.
