The KDE team is still grossly understaffed. Most of the long term developers on the |
2 |
team are either gone or inactive, and the ones still working on it really need help. |
3 |
Bugs are piling up, patches are waiting, and package versions need bumped. I |
4 |
simply don't have the time to keep up with it anymore. I've been doing this for |
5 |
over 4 years now, and my interests have shifted to other things. |

If you are already a developer and can help the team, please feel free to join. If |
8 |
you are a user who wants to help, becoming active in the forums and with open bugs |
9 |
reports is a good way to get yourself noticed. It would be nice to get some more |
10 |
people brought on as developers who can help keep the KDE team active and alive as |
11 |
the 4.0 release draws closer. I would hate to see Gentoo dropping KDE all together |
12 |
because nobody has the time to maintain it. |

Thank you. |

ps - please don't e-mail me and ask me how you can become a developer. There are |
17 |
official channels for this, and if you aren't aware of them, you aren't yet ready to |
18 |
go down that road :) |
