Improving technical documentation
Kirigami is one of KDE's most important frameworks. It is used by KDE developers to produce attractive applications that work across desktop and mobile environments and across many operating systems.
However, the Kirigami developer documentation on the KDE Develop site was scarce in content. This made it difficult for newcomers to fully uncover Kirigami's capabilities. A significant part of my Season of KDE work has been devoted to addressing this, working towards the goal of making the Kirigami documentation detailed, complete, and beginner-friendly. We are now much closer to this goal than we were in January.
Working on this project has also helped me learn a lot about Kirigami too. One of my personal projects, DayKountdown, has gone from being a blank window to being a (relatively!) usable, convergent application. DayKountdown now forms part of the Plasma Mobile namespace on KDE Invent and the aim is for it to eventually become a showcase of Kirigami's capabilities. Right now, it just counts down the days towards a date (with a few neat extra pieces of functionality).
Throughout Season of KDE, I have improved several additional areas of the KDE Developer documentation. I have also assisted other community members in the writing and drafting of new documentation.
