Projects/Contributor Paths: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:27, 29 December 2008

This is a temporary page to hold information about creating techbase pages for contributor paths. The idea is to reorganize the tutorials already present on techbase into categories to teach new people to contribute. The focus is on lowering the barrier to entry, and identifying gaps in the techbase tutorials.

The original thread is here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.core/55248

What I'm looking for is

Consensus - Is this a good idea and something we want?
Correctness - As I know nothing about artists work, I don't know if creating icons is harder than creating themes, and I don't know if the steps in the path are correct. Similar for the others (docs, translation, etc)
Collaboration - Will you help fill the gaps in the techbase documentation?

Followups here

Draft of 'root' page

Box is a bad template to use for this stuff. We can do a lot better, but you get the idea
