welcome :) > 1) With which project should I start? pick something that interests you. there are a lot of kde applications and all of them can use more attention and interest. if you pick something that interests you (because you use it, or you feel it's something that could be made better, or because you find the topic to be challenging/interesting) you are more likely, in my experience, to stick with it. you can also look at some of the smaller applications to get you started, such as some of the ones in kdeutils or kdeedu. they often have several wishlist items filed against them and it can be an easy and fun way to quickly see results and get familiar with the kde community. > 2) As soon as I have a project I like to work on, what is the best strategy > to get into it? Hunting bugs, doing some little improvements (like junior > jobs) or develop some bigger feature? usually i recommend to contact the developers quickly and let them know of your interest, what help you need if any and what you are wanting to do. starting with simple bugs, fixing up features that aren't "quite polished enough yet", etc. is a great way to start without drowning :) > Also, any hints how to deal with > these masses of code the first time you work on them would be nice. start small, take it one task at a time. ask lots of questions :) -- Aaron J.
