The KDE FAQ answers the most frequently asked questions concerning KDE.

Mailing Lists

KDE has several mailing lists¹ up. You may subscribe and unsubscribe to many of these lists and some others by going to the mailman interface. Older articles can be found in the mailing list archive.

Lists may also be read on-line at the news server and are also available (read only) via news reader at news.uslinuxtraining.com. Anonymous IMAP is available at the same server. Set login to 'anonymous, password 'you@email.address', folder to '#news' and server to 'news.uslinuxtraining.com'.

There are a great number of people that volunteer their time and effort in providing technical support and other assistance on these lists. It is therefore important that any questions asked or problems presented are done so in an intelligent and considered manner. If you are new to mailing lists then we suggest you read this document on how to ask smart questions before posting your e-mail.

This page provides access to a number of KDE web pages in different languages, countries or regional areas. The idea is to collect useful information concerning the usage of KDE for specific communities, status of translations, suggested settings for such users, and similar issues.

These pages are not mirrors of KDE.org. If you are looking for mirrors in a country closer to yours, check out the Web Mirrors page.

These pages also are not necessarily involved in the KDE translation or localization efforts. Please see the l10n.kde.org website for more information on this topic.

If you would like to contribute pages tailored to your language, country or regional area please contact the KDE.org webmaster.

Note:
Our policy regarding the sites listed above is simple: If somebody goes through the trouble of creating a KDE website, then we will include it in this list. Furthermore, we will not override the site creator's preference for what to call their geographical area (e.g., calling the Taiwan site "Taiwan" instead of "China").
