KDE.org
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.

The needs steadily change, and there is always room for coders who are able to contribute HTML, CSS or PHP.
Note
Setting up the website on your computer
In order to do any development you will want to have a local version of the websites to test before committing. The instructions how to set it up are here Local Website Setup.
