this is a good place for all development questions, also try
#kde-devel on irc.freenode.net

there are many ways to help. if you understand c++ and can make sense
of code, documentation in the code is a great place to start. if you
are serious with c++ and some qt, you can then later contribure some
code patches. if you don't know c++, you can contribute translations
or docbooks.

no/none

generally, you edit the existing files, and then generate diffs.

> 7. When I'm done, how do I get it into KDE?
submit the diffs to this mailing list, and after a few helpful
submissions, you will be given access to a faster way to do it.

If you tell me what c++ experience you have, I would be able to help
you get started.
