There's no really guidelines, just pick a bug/feature that you want to fix/implement, try to make the code good and follow the general coding style of the files you're touching and submit a patch via phabricator https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/Phabricator#Basic_Tasks Ideally using arcanist but if not using the web.
