I am interested in compiling KDE SC on a stock ubuntu-server distribution in under 7 days, and then updating the documentation so that a new contributor to KDE can do this in under 6 days. I think the huge up-front commitment to build from trunk is a barrier to entry for new contributors.

Here is a list of documentation that I am consulting and working on. They are listed in order from http://kde.org/community/getinvolved/, a place where new contributors can start, and is hierarchal based on hyper links. Action that is required is also included on this list. Ultimately, this should result in a runnable system.

Going with kdesrc-build

• Create Parallels virtual machine
• Install ubuntu-server
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• http://kde.org/community/getinvolved/
  • http://kde.org/community/getinvolved/development/
    • http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Unstable_Version
      • http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/
        • http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/kdesvn-build
          • http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4#Required_packages_from_your_distribution
            • Run commands on this page
          • http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/
            • http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/releases/kdesrc-build-1.12.php
              • Download http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/releases/kdesrc-build-1.12.tar.bz2
          • Run commands at #Download_and_install_kdesrc-build
          • Run commands at #Setup_the_configuration
          • cd ~/kdesrc && ./kdesrc-build qt-copy
