KDE.org
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

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