Below are some easy ways to do merge requests (MR) for the KDE git repositories. And easy ways to contribute to the KDE Community.

* Create a new Google Doc named “SpellCheck”.
In the web browser: Navigate to a KDE wiki page. E.g. https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved Ctrl+A Ctrl+C.
In the Google Doc: Ctrl+Shift+V. From the Google Doc main menu > Tools > Spelling and grammar > Spelling and grammar check. It says that we should replace:
“KDE's Quality Assurance team tests pre-release software and proposed changed to make sure that everything works properly!”
with:
“KDE's Quality Assurance team tests pre-release software and proposed changes to make sure that everything works properly!”
In the web browser: edit the KDE wiki page to fix the spelling or grammar error.

* From time to time, make sure that all the KDE git repositories build correctly using kdesrc-build. Run:
kdesrc-build
without parameters. That will build all 400 KDE git repositories. If a KDE git repository built successfully last week,
but does not build successfully today, invest time to investigate why it stopped building, ask in the KDE Matrix channel
(e.g. https://webchat.kde.org/#/room/#kde-welcome:kde.org ) if this module is supposed to build.

Example: let's say that kcalc does not build and that in ~/.config/kdesrc-buildrc I have:
directory-layout invent
In konsole: I would run:
clear
rm -rf ~/kde/build/utilities/kcalc
kdesrc-build --no-include-dependencies --debug
In konsole main menu > Edit > Select All, Ctrl+Shift+C
In the web browser create a pastebin https://pastebin.centos.org/ Paste the contents of the clipboard.
Paste the URL of the new pastebin in the KDE matrix channel when requesting help.
