    A challenge for to the users

    As I skim through here I see LOADS of great exchanges of information. I also
    see a lot of people spending the time to talk through things. Here is what I
    am kinda looking for. If you have ever wanted to get more involved helping
    Kubuntu build and better itself I have a challenge for you all.

    I am looking for some help in building not only our system docs but, also
    putting together a help.kubuntu.org website. If you would like to help write
    simple how-to pages much in the same way you help people in here please
    contact me and I will help you get started and point you in the right
    direction.

    Also, if you enjoy the more in depth programming side of things in Qt or for
    Kubuntu in general and would like to volunteer for some projects for the
    upcoming 11.04 Natty Narwhal release please contact me and I will put you in
    contact with one of our developers that are looking to teach and train people
    in the art of Kubuntu.

    There is a third part to this as well. I am looking to reach Kubuntu Users in
    LoCos so that we may build Kubuntu ideas, projects and things to do within the
    LoCos to help us Kubuntu and KDE users feel more involved with projects going
    on.

    If any of these things interest you please reply to this or contact me. I am
    looking forward to working with many of you in the weeks and months to come!

    mmm.... and I recently posted a msg saying I was thinking about helping with Kubuntu documentation... Nice timing...

    What's the preferred IRC chat client for #Kubuntu?

      Whatever you want

      Quassel is installed by default, but Konversation is nice, as well as Xchat

          either one, tho quassel has a short wizard that gets you set up to connect to #kubuntu on freenode rather quickly

              I tried both Konversation and Quassel and Quassel blew Konversation out of the water, IME.

                Re: A challenge for to the users

                ya I liked Quassel better as well.

                thought the web link pop ups on courser hover was to cool....

                I would love to help with something ....... .......only prob is I'm just an end user so I don't know what I could possibly do.

                other than try to help someone with my limited knowledge when I can

                  Re: A challenge for to the users

                  End users can write up how-tos and things along that line. Wiki page stuff, things like that

                  help.ubuntu.com is nice, but sometimes the Kubuntu specific stuff is not included or linked to in a page. Plus things can be difficult to find for us Kubuntu users. A help.kubuntu.org would be awesome. It would also be faster as the Ubuntu wikis are getting slower and slower as time has gone by.

                      this is a great idea as the whole kdesu/gksudo thing is confusing for newcommers, and myself
