Actually, this is not entirely true. The PIM website is not yet 100% ported to 
the new look and framework (it had a fork of a bunch of stuff). The Kontact 
website might run just about anything, I don't know. Both sites live in SVN, 
though:

svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/www/areas/pim
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/www/apps/kontact

It depends a little on what you want to do whether the edit links on the pages 
(that have them) or the SVN checkout is the way to go.

"Just" content, heh. As far as I'm concerned (but I'm a geek) the writing is 
the hard bit, not the PHP.

[[ yay! ]] That would be awesome. There is of course this mailing list with 
development information, and a lot of activity on the kdepim-users mailing 
list which might be distilled into content for there.

You gots to go out and grab the developers by the scruff of their necks and 
thrash any information out of 'em.

Welcome!
