The API "documentation" is still completely unorganized and most of it is just Doxygen pages. While the Doxygen tagging is fairly good, this is not a "manual," it's a reference.
I agree a manual would be great, but they have an huge wiki.. any developer should know how " read " code. I think the logic is that they created such an awesome product that they should not have to ' put it in the hole ' for you..
Coding for KDE is no cakewalk; yet its not as impossible as you make it seem.
What helped me is opening up the sources for Cairo-Clock and others and copy, pasting, reading, and reading some more..
Yes, the docs can be better; but just try to look at the problem like a kid who likes to break there toys to figure out why. Thats why I became a developer.
..collect all data possible and index it for the benefit of humankind... Even if it's just a Deep Blue style of brute-force thinking, the corpus upon which this "hive mind" will draw is profound.
I think I would enjoy them downloading my 3 gigs into a cylon robot so i can unleash my bender like qualities to the masses..
As far as I'm concerned Buzz can kiss my shiny metal ass.
You people make billions of dollars, why would you sully up an awesome product to follow someone else's {insert profanity here}..
Someone over there must have been smoking crack, when they thought "hey lets let everyone tweet from google!!"
This is part were Gibbs would smack Denozo up side the head for being an idot..
You guys need an idea copy/borrow/steal/improve ?
1) You know that show FlashForward ? Build Mosaic!! yeah that would have came in handy for all those earthquake victims in haiti,...,...., etc huh!!? yeah well not everyone has a laptop you say; I seen a guy iphone himself through a serious injury on the tube. People always find a way to McGuyver sh$t when times get tuff. You should be able to hack andriod into
a $5 cheese grater by now.. retail it for $50 - $30( I'm throwing numbers since were smoking crack ) for R&D and you still have profits..
2) Hp is building a global senor network that will obviously need a web infrastructure that will scale well... can someone say " Yeah we should Buy NOW?! "
3) I know you guys and gals can spell holographic.. I want to google medical journals and have them signed to me via a holographic tutor.. look ma NO SOUND.. [ http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/18572/?a=f ]
All of the projects above for Google's man power, war chest, and ingenuity are do-able..
Common Really... Get it together people.. Its 1:30 est time and I'm out of tv references, Im going going to bed hoping this was a nightmare that will go away...

too lazy to contribute to the docs...
You need to read docs first if you had not had the chance. Start here.. [ http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials ] They even have snippets [ http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/D-Bus/Accessing_Interfaces ]
