Absolutely. 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.

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.

No but I cannot find it on developer.kde.org - maybe I'm blind?

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.
