Jared,<br><br>Welcome! There are a number of projects to get started on, however there is a good way to get a decent overview and get your feet wet while you choose. In particular, I am referring to porting KDE to QT4. If you choose to start here, first set up a development environment using the instructions at:
<br><br><a href="http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/buildstep.php">http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/buildstep.php</a> <br><br>and <br><br><a href="http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE+4+with+kdesvn-build">
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=KDE+4+with+kdesvn-build</a><br><br>Then start looking through kdebase (recommended) or another module for the string Q3 (ex. "find ./kdebase -name "*.c*" -exec grep -H Q3 {} \; | grep -v svn"). Once you find some occurrences, go to
<a href="http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/porting4.html">http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/porting4.html</a> and figure out how to port them to the new API. Then when you get a line or two ported and compiling, send an "svn diff" to the kde-core-devel mailing list.
<br><br>Just poking through the code like this will give you a good idea of the mechanics of Qt/KDE and possibly help you find that really kewl project to get started on!<br><br>Greg<br>-<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

I'm looking for a project to put in some time on. I've got C/C++ and<br>scripting (*sh,perl,php,etc.) experience. I have some limited free<br>time (after putting the kiddies to bed and all that) that I can devote<br>to some hacking.
<br><br>Any and all suggestions are welcome - though I reserve the right to be<br>choosy. :)<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>-Jared<br>_______________________________________________<br>kde-quality mailing list<br><a href="mailto:kde-quality@kde.org">
