I think it makes a nice jumping-off point, and is good for emphasising
that
writing code is far from the be-all-and-end-all of KDE.
It's very much a community involvement page, though, and techbase
needs an
equivalent whose selection is more along the lines of "I want to write
code
/
I want to use the Frameworks in my own project / I want to deploy KDE
software
to 20 000 computers". The "how to build our software" is just one part
of
that.
Co-ordinating the "development" track on the community wiki and the
"build /
send in patches" track on the techbase wiki is going to take some
thought,
though.
You mean like https://techbase.kde.org/Contribute? :-) It may help to
have standard names for these sorts of matching pages.
Not quite. I think techbase's Contribute page I think actually tries to
do the job of community's Get Involved page, but does it significantly
less well. My understanding is that Techbase is aimed at a wider
audience than just KDE developers (including ISVs and sysadmins), and it
could do with a starting point the entire audience - this is neither a
"contribute" nor a "get involved" page. Actually, it could reasonably be
called "Getting Started", but then we'd need to pick a different name
for the current "Getting Started" page (which is really aimed at
developers). Or it could just be the landing page for Techbase.
