True, it helps if you can actively develop the app.  But without programming 
skills you can make a difference by going through the bugs and triaging - 
there are 35 open bugs mostly in the UNCONFIRMED state, at bugs.kde.org, and 
also by building the most recent kde 4 version (kmid seems to be minimally 
ported, now it has been move to extragear/multimedia) and looking for porting 
mistakes.  Even some non-developers have been known to become developers by 
trying stuff out, learning how to revert individual commits that might cause 
a problem, then eventually seeing how it works and trying their own changes.

Drop by #opensuse-kde or [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you'd like some more 
info.
