KPhotoAlbum

Once you have decided to participate in the development of KPhotoAlbum, you need to get your hands on the sources. For a start we suggest you check out the source code either from stable SVN or development SVN

When you have made a change, please mail a patches to the mailing list (see details below).

Please read this page to learn how to compile the sources

Imagine you have your changes in kphotoalbum-mychanges and the version without changes in kphotoalbum-no-changes, then run this command to produce a patch:

• diff -u -r kphotoalbum-no-changes kphotoalbum-mychanges > name-of-patch.patch

Once you have supplied a number of patches, it is time to get your own svn account. While sending patches is a great way for you to align up with coding standards and ways of doing things in KPhotoAlbum, it is not effective on a larger scale.

Fill out this form to apply for an svn account

Like any piece of software KPhotoAlbum has a learning curve to climb before you are totally up to speed. A good start is to find a relatively easy job on the Junior Jobs page, and looking at the reference documentation generated from the source code itself.
