Announcing the KDE Quality Team Project

Quique writes "The KDE Community is pleased to announce the launch of the Quality Team Project, a community of contributors who will serve as a gateway between developers and users in the KDE Project, and as a new way for people to begin contributing. KDE is a very attractive project, offering high quality software and is freely available. There is a lot of people who feel the urge to give something back, but stop in the middle of the way, frustrated by the steep learning curve. The aim of the project is to reduce these barriers by welcoming these potential contributors, and by offering documentation, support, and even guidance if requested. The objective is to support the new contributors, (programmers, documenters, testers, artists...). Have you ever wished to help KDE in some way, but never knew how? Keep reading!"

Re:For a social scientist's perspective...

Ugh. Please don't call yourself a scientist- you're just good at PR. GNOME has been building such a community for over two years, and Mozilla for nearly five. An actual social scientist of even the most basic sort would have found that out before writing things. Building such a community is a great idea, and even worthy of study, I agree, but it's hardly new.
