Project Ideas
Proposal Template
Project: The main idea of your proposed project
Basic work breakdown: What types of tasks will the project include; how they could be distributed throughout the program
Expected results: What needs to be produced to consider the project completed ("definition of done")
Benefit for KDE: How will the community benefit from this project; both short- and long-term
Benefit for the technical writer: What will the technical writer gain from this project (new skills, specific knowledge...)
Prerequisites: If any specialized tools or technologies are required to complete the project, they should be listed here. If some skills are good-to-have, but not required, they can also be mentioned in this section
Mentor: If the person submitting the proposal is willing to also mentor the project, they should put their name here. If submitting a proposal without a defined mentor, leave this field empty. However, proposals without a defined mentor will be given lower priority, and should be discussed in the official kde-sod channel before submitting
