About KDE

KDE is an independent project of hundreds of developers,
translators, artists and other professionals worldwide
collaborating over the Internet to create and freely
distribute a sophisticated, customizable and stable desktop
and office environment employing a flexible,
component-based, network-transparent architecture and
offering an outstanding development platform. KDE provides
a stable, mature desktop, a full, component-based office
suite (KOffice), a large set of networking and
administration tools and utilities, and an efficient,
intuitive development environment featuring the excellent
IDE KDevelop. KDE is working proof that the Open Source
"Bazaar-style" software development model can yield
first-rate technologies on par with and superior to even
