KDE.org: Difference between revisions

Introduction

KDE hosts a variety of websites, from highly dynamic sites to info, documentationational or 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 webteam works closely with the promo and the sysadmin team in KDE to make sure KDE has a nice working and nice looking web presence.

Discussion about kde websites

• IRC channel: #kde-www
• Mailinglist: kde-www See http://kde.org/mailinglists/ for details

Getting involved

There are a variety of options to get involved. KDE websites use either its own framework (Capacity, see below), or one of the well known frameworks around the web. This includes:

• Mediawiki
• drupal
• phpBB
• gosa
• Wordpress
• redmine

The needs steadily change, and there is always room for coders who are able to contribute HTML, CSS or PHP.

Note

Note: Capacity is about to become deprecated, as the mainsite gets prepared to be moved to Wordpress
