Just to mention it for those who don't know (and i am wondering why noone 
mentioned it here before). On www.kde.org there is a topmenu item called 
"Applications", which lists various if not all KDE Applications, along with 
some general information and also (only another click away) development 
information, which includes a link to the projects.kde.org project page and 
even a command to clone it from git.kde.org 
SVN links still work as well, sure.
This - as the name says - of course doesn't include things like oxygen icons, 
as they are used in several places or the KDE Frameworks.

If you are one of the app developers, those information is set by a simple 
json file, so it might be worth to be checked every once in a while to see the 
information is up to date. I just fixed around 44 apps and their links to the 
respective projects.kde.org entry. The more hands the better.

Cheerio,
