Welcome to kde-quality! (2)

[Adriaan de Groot]

Welcome new subscriber!

This is the kde-quality mailing list.

You may be here as a "potential new contributor to KDE", since there is 
material on the web pointing to this mailing list. That's something of a 
historical accident and something we are trying to clean up by giving this 
list a single charter topic (see below). Right now, newcomers issues are fine 
here in spite of the charter, though we'll try to deal with common questions 
immediately.

If you *are* a potential new contributor:
- bug reports go to bugs.kde.org
- application-specific discussions go to the list belonging with that 
application or kde-devel if there is no other
- website issues go on kde-www
- if you want guidance on selecting what to do, kde-devel is a good place to 
ask, or look for 'Junior Jobs' on bugs.kde.org (there is a link from the 
front page)
- in general, we find that people with "an itch to scrath" do better (since 
they are motivated to scratch) that people who "just want to help" since we 
are not a very directive organization. We don't tend to reply to "I want to 
help" with "Fix bug #124763" since, well, that's not very useful for new 
contributors.
- what *is* useful for new contributors are the pages on techbase.kde.org on 
getting started. Go over there now and take a look around. It's got all our 
getting started documentation.


This list's charter is:

Discussing KDE's quality checking infrastructure and tools, which mostly 
live on the English Breakfast Network. Unit tests and coverage are ok as 
well. This is an active list; talk and then code, but don't just talk or 
gripe. APIDOX improvements and patches are handled here as well. Small 
patches where you don't know who to send them to specifically should probably 
go to kde-devel@ .

Please stick with this topic. Bug reporting / ranting is not useful on 
this list; bug reports go to bugs.kde.org, rants should just go elsewhere.

Thanks for living up to the list charter,
[ade] (list admin)
