I'd also like to do something with KDE, but I have no > idea how I go about it. 1. join the relevant mailing list. 2. ask about your problem - someone may already be working on it 3. offer to help patch, ask for advice on how to prepare patches suitable for that project, recommended tools, etc. Before you get to create patches, you'll need to be able to build the latest CVS/SVN version of the package - check the website for the project concerned. Good luck and be persistent - programming takes time. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
