Incubator

Welcome to the home page of the KDE Incubator. Here you can find our incubation process and the list of currently incubated projects.

The incubator is not active yet and still needs some work to be functional. You can also find the notes which led to the current process.

What do we provide to a project which got through the joining process?

• FLA availability
• Infrastructure (repos, ml, forums) (use sysadmin ticket system to request)
• Support (forums staff, promotion)
