KDE is an open source project and every blurb we have on what is KDE mentions that fact. A link to the source code should definitely be prominent on the main web page. > In the Develop box remove: > -WebCVS (in developer.kde.org) Sort of - it is an easy way for the curious and for beginners to actually see the code. What about placing it under the target for the first link in your list. > -Source Reference (in developer.kde.org) No but I cannot find it on developer.kde.org - maybe I'm blind? > -Bugs ( add to developer.kde.org Sitemap box) Again - yes and definitely yes. But it doesn't necessarily have to stay in its current form. I think a "Report a bug" link would be better. But the average user has to be able to come to the main webpage and easily let the developers know about a bug/wish/etc that they have. If they have to jump through hoops to find it then the bugs just won't get reported. > -Translation, Documentation ( add to developer.kde.org Sitemap box) Again - definitely yes. Most translators and documentation writers are not developers. Developers - myself included - _hate_ writing documentation. I know the Irish translators are not developers. In the same way as the bugs above, these areas have to be obviously accessable or we run the risk of losing contributors. > -Getting Involved ( Move to Inform box ) As long as it's somewhere. And some of it may already be covered under "Supporting KDE" - that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a "Getting Involved" box.
