Hi Thomas, and welcome aboard.  It will be great to have your input.  I'm sure 
Jeremy and Frederick can give you more info on the accessability side of 
things, but I can tell you the starting points for Qt and KDE.

First up you can find the excellent Qt api docs online at:

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/index.html

For KDE we do have a separate wiki for our developer docs which you can find 
at:

http://techbase.kde.org/

In particular you can find documentation on building KDE at:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started

I wrote a lot of those pages so let me know if you find anything that's not 
clear enough.

Ubuntu / Kubuntu is perfectly fine for KDE development.  There's a couple of 
pages on the wiki for Debian / Ubuntu based development but I'm not sure how 
up-to-date they are:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Distributions/Debian

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Using_Project_Neon_to_contribute_to_KDE

Good luck, and thanks!

John.
