Introduction

KDE hosts a variety of websites, from the highly dynamic to info, documentation, and promotional sites. Volunteering involves very different aspects ranging from:

  • writing content
  • moderating in the forum
  • coordinating announcements
  • staying in contact with KDE developers to be aware of latest changes
  • administering dynamic sites like forum, wikis
  • watching out for spammers in those
  • enhancing functionality of the codebase
  • styling/designing the look of our sites
  • etc etc

The web team works closely with the promo and the sysadmin teams to make sure that KDE has a nice-looking and functional web presence.

Getting involved

Coding

KDE primarily uses Hugo for its websites. In most cases, running a website locally consists of installing Go and Hugo (preferably Hugo Extended version 0.134), and then: 

git clone <repository-link>
cd <cloned-repository>
hugo server

A few special websites might have additional instructions on how to set up local development, like the main KDE.org website, Planet KDE, or the KDE Developer platform.

You can read more about developing with Hugo in the Hugo KDE repository wiki. You might also want to check out the Hugo KDE repository itself, as it's where most HTML/SCSS/JS development happens.

To create a new Hugo website from scratch, you will want to read the Tutorial from scratch and take a look at the Hugo KDE Website Template.

Lastly, to deploy our websites, we use Continuous Delivery (CD).

In addition to Hugo, we also use MediaWiki for our wikis, and Jekyll in some rare cases.

KDE's web needs steadily change, and there is always room for coders who are able to contribute HTML, SCSS, or JS. Contributing is a matter of:
