Guidelines

Adding a Proposal

When adding an idea to this section, please include the following data:

  • if the application is not widely known, a description of what it does and where its code lives
  • a brief explanation (2-5 sentences)
  • a url link to the project repository
  • an easy, medium or hard rating of the project
  • the expected results
  • pre-requisites for working on your project (skills required/preferred)
  • if applicable, links to more information or discussions
  • mailing list or IRC channel for your application/library/module
  • your name and email address for contact (if you're willing to be a mentor)
  • If students need to be reminded of the workload, expected size(hours) of the project.

If you are not a developer but have a good idea for a proposal, get in contact with relevant developers first.

Note

Follow this template!


Project: Something that you're totally excited about

Brief explanation: Do you have an awesome idea you want to work on with KDE but that is not among the ideas below? That's cool. We love that! But please do us a favor: Get in touch with a mentor early on and make sure your project is realistic and within the scope of KDE. That will spare you and us a lot of frustration.

Expected results: Something you and KDE loves

Difficulty: Easy, medium or difficult project

Knowledge Prerequisite: Probably C++ and Qt but depends on your project

(Optional) Duration: If it's long, estimate the approximate duration, it doesn't need to be exact. Like ~200 hours.

Mentor: Try to see who in KDE is interested in what you want to work on and approach them. If you are unsure you can always ask in #kde-ospp:kde.org on matrix.
