Hello,

we are looking for a (KDE) developer to help with improving some still rough or would-be-nice-to-have areas for KDE and include those solutions (or fixes) into our KDE-focused distribution.
The focus would be to make them as compatible or useful for all KDE distributions as possible.

So we are making a very small step in the route of what Canonical or Mint does for Gnome, but with the difference of emphasizing solutions for the general benefit of KDE (and not specialized or diverging stuff like Unity vs. Gnome3-Shell).

Some target areas for start would be:

- better GTK2 and GTK3 integration with improved graphical KDE/KCM-modul for GTK settings like choosing icon-sets, button/menu-look, etc., similar like Gnome-Tweak-Tool
- improve or do something similar like kgtk for gtk-programs (like gimp)
- fix bugs or improve kde-programs or modules like kmenu-editor
- fix related stuff like firefox kde-filedialog quirks (this is to patch firefox)

We offer payment on a monthly basis (half-days or fulltime possible), depending on skills and how much a programmer is asking for.

Anyone interested please post any questions or make comments here or contact me directly:

Cool, I dented to the KDE group to spread the word.

And I re-dented

Thank you very much, Hans and tazz!

Hi Starbuck,
it is good to see you offering more paid work for improving KDE products. This is the way to go!

If you do not find a person you can hire, it may be interesting to you that
my company (http://www.intevation.net) also offers to improve KDE based code fully upstream compatible. An example for a small, but hard to make improvement: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/ ... an#kdelibs
Contact me if you need a quote.
