[KDE] Volonteer to maintain Dolphin and improve it

[Emmanuel Pescosta]

Hii Mathieu,
here is a junior job for you: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334271
It should be easy enough to learn all the basics about our development
tools/workflows ;)

If you have any questions please let us know!

Have fun!
Emmanuel

> git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kde-baseapps.git
> cd kde-baseapps
> mkdir build && cd build
> cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/where/dolphin/should/be/installed
> make && make install
>
> Concerning the source code tree, I would suggest that you ask anything
> that is unclear while you browse the source here on the mailing list.

> Thanks again and best regards,
