Submitting

If you are hacking at CVS, you should follow the commit procedure outlined above. If you want to submit changes to code that you are not maintaining, you should first check with the maintainer of the application. You can usually find his/her email address in the directory containing the source. Also check the program's "About" box if it has one. If no maintainer is specifically listed, you should contact the author (that person is probably still maintaining).

If you are developing outside of CVS, you can submit your code (widgets, applications, etc.) via FTP to ftp://upload.kde.org/pub/kde/Incoming When you do this be sure to include an .lsm (Linux Software Map) file. This way your code can be automatically placed in the appropriate spot on ftp.kde.org and its mirrors and an announcement can be automatically sent to the kde-announce mailing list.
