(unrelated development schedule: Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Beta_Goals)
every part of the KDE libraries needs tutorial documentation. this is a survey. (note: the lists of modules could be taken from a release doc or something.....) tutorials should answer: "why would I use KDE over just QT?"
KDE glue
what defines a KDE app?
- localization
- consistent menus, accelerators, toolbars, chrome, icons
- transparent file access
- simple, cross-platform build system
- shared technology
- testing
- documentation
- open source
- inviting for new users and contributors
