There's KDE developers in Berlin, Ulm, Munich, Paderborn.
I personally don't mind having a "student" over mail / irc / facebook that
I can teach. I usually make time for that.
*if* you are really serious on that, you migth go to Qt Dev Days in Berlin
and meet some KDE people there.

Hi<br>
<span class=""><br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;m interested in the status and the future of Parley.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In the last weeks I evaluated many vocabulary lerning solutions/programs for<br>
&gt; my kid. As a long time KDE user I choosed Parley at first. It works ok but<br>
&gt; has some bugs which needs to be fixed for serious use. Also I find the user<br>
&gt; interface confusing in some parts, espacially for kids.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So I tried other program and websites. In short: they are all not very good<br>
&gt; in my opinion. Here and there are good things but I didn&#39;t find an overall<br>
&gt; satisfying solution.<br>
&gt; Finally I still see a potential in Parley, I like the functionality and I<br>
&gt; have many (rough) ideas what could be improved.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; For some time now I wanted to dig a little bit into kde development, so I&#39;m<br>
&gt; thinking to start working on Parley. But the question is if it&#39;s worth it.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; What do you think?<br>
<br>
</span>If you&#39;re interested in improving it, it&#39;s a very good thing :)<br>
<br>
&gt; Is Parley dead?<br>
<br>
<a href="https://cgit.kde.org/parley.git/log/" rel="noreferrer" \

There&#39;s not much development going on, but it gets released every month, so<br>
no, it&#39;s not dead.<br>
<span class=""><br>
&gt; I might join the KDE Edu sprint 2017, if it&#39;s ok to come there for a Qt/KDE<br>
&gt; beginner.<br>
<br>
</span>That would be awesome :)<br>
<span class=""><br>
&gt; I&#39;m a software developer, mainly using web technologies like php, js,<br>
&gt; typescript. In the past I did a bit C, Modula 2, Oberon.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Is there somebody around Hannover (Germany) who can give me an introduction<br>
