[KDE-India] Help

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Deep,

Thanks for the reply to Maulik, you're pretty right about all of the steps.
What I will like to add is that it is a good idea to subscribe to the
mailing list of kde-devel and the project you are working on (in PMC's
case, it is plasma-devel). You can find a list of all mailing lists here
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo .

Happy contributing!
