Right. We are trying to move the data to the KDE TechBase Wiki, especially the 
development related stuff.

The main page [1] there is not very well structured either, but I guess it at 
least links to all the relevant information.

Generally, KDE PIM development is mainly focused on migrating our application 
and storage backends to the Akonadi [2] infrastructure.

While there is obviously lots of things that can be done in that area, there 
are also lots of opportunities to work on the applications themselves.
For example KMail has a special page [3] dedicated to so called "Junior Jobs", 
i.e. development tasks the maintainer judged to be doable by a new comer 
without needing too much knowledge about the whole code base.

For dicussion and review of patches we are using a web based reviewboard 
application [4]. Any other form of discussion or questions can be directed to 
this mailinglist or our main IRC channel (#kontact on the freenode network).

Cheers,
Kevin
