“This mini-HOWTO is geared toward new developers…”

“To help develop KDE or a KDE application you need to know how
to (i) find KDE information and code, (ii) use CVS, and (iii)

“This mini-HOWTO is geared toward new developers,

“The K Desktop Environment is an open source Unix desktop
created by volunteers from around the world.”
