As Duncan already wrote, the main information resource for development related activities is TechBase. It contains both general documentation (e.g. a getting started guide) and project specific documentation (e.g. KDEPIM has its own sub section). Some projects have a list of tasks suitable for people new to the code base. Those lists can be on TechBase but can also be Bugzilla entries marked as "junior job". > I'm looking to get all of the following applications (since I don't know > the repository locations): The easiest way to get the code and build it is to use kdesrc-build http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/kdesrc-build Basically you enable/disable which modules you want to have through its configuration file and it knows where to get them and how and in which order to build them. > I'm doing this largely so I can help with bug fixing and testing and also > work on helping make the system better.

Very cool, those skills are certainly more than good enough :) I recommend you also subscribe to kde-core-devel@xxxxxxx, it is our main development (developing on KDE code) discussion list. If you have any question that you don't feel like discussing on a list, feel free to mail me directly.
