I started trying, but I'm simply too busy to keep working on KDE programming 
for now.

I was wondering if anyone who has experience with KDE programming from a 
usability perspective could write up a short tutorial, or even a set of notes 
about the tools involved and a method of learning.  For instance, the 
tutorial could go through what QT designer is and how to use it.  It may go 
through a short discussion of how KDE and QT accept and receive events with 
slots and signals.  It might step through the GUI elements of a sample KDE 
application and detail how they behave.

If QT offers descriptor files to build dialogs off of, or KDE does it.  Or, 
what skills would be good to have to program for usability, or how to test, 
or what-not.

I don't expect anyone to jump to the board with answers to this one soon.  
When I'm able to do it I plan to write up a document myself detailing "my 
experience with learning to do KDE".  However if anyone's feeling like 
they're in a good mood I'd love to see someone start a document like this.  I 
think it would help those people who have 5 years of Linux kernel development 
experience and have done lots of Java/C++, or who have worked with MFC and 
want to move to Linux, or whatever.

I might want to pop on the kde-devel list and ask this same question too, 
acutally... anyone mind passing this on?
