I don't know how it was when you looked at it, but kde.org has Community->Get Involved, which brings you to a page that offers different ways of contributing and the "Development" page has a paragraph that links to a "Build" site which then has detailed steps including a "Get sources" paragraph which links to a detailed list. Yes, its not the second page, but its actually structured quite nicely, its a bit like a step-by-step thing. This does mean experienced developers who just want to know where the repositories are (because they already know how such things work due to past experience in other projects) need a bit more reading, but the pages are a huge help if you don't really have a clear idea of how to approach the "Get Involved" thing. Personally though, if I want to find out where a project has its source code repositories I'll just go to my favourite search engine and put in something like <project> source repositories (and for KDE and my favourite search engine the third hit will bring you to the right place) Andreas >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
