Mission Statement

There are a lot of KDE PIM web pages. Many of the KDE PIM applications have their own home pages, there is the Kontact home page which also collects some info for its components and there is pim.kde.org which is a mixture of all of them.

The Kontact homepage is the central place for the users of KDE PIM applications, for marketing our applications and as presentation of our project to the outside. This boils down to the message "Use Kontact and be happy."

This site, pim.kde.org is the central place of the KDE PIM contributors and the KDE PIM community in general. This serves as resource for our internal information needs, as contact point for new developers and as a warm and cozy place for our community and our fans.

In order to make the distinction more clear, here are some more detailed proposals about the content:

kontact.kde.org

• Description of Kontact
• Description of kdepim components, either as kontact.org subpages or as application home pages
• Feature overviews
• Screenshots
• News relevant for Kontact and Kontact component users
• Commercial improvement system
• Information about groupware server support
• Getting Kontact (download, distributions)
• Contact addresses for user questions (FAQ, mailing lists)
• Testimonials, success stories, references to reviews, awards, ...

pim.kde.org

• Developer contact information (mailing lists, IRC, FAQs)
• Information how to build kdepim (cvs, build system, etc.)
• People information (links to blogs, interviews, home pages, funny pictures, etc.)
• Bugzilla statistics
• SVN commit statistics
• List of junior jobs
• kdepim API reference
• Playground (area with open permissions where kdepim developers can put any kind of documents, e.g. crazy proposals, design drafts, collections of links, whatever. A kind of wiki, but managed by SVN. We could even do things like automatically create overview pages or similar stuff which makes it easy to put and information on the playground)
• Quality team resources
• Meeting reports
• History
• Community news
• Links to kdepim-related resources on kde-look
• Talks, papers, articles
• Links to related resources (information on other KDE web pages, e.g. kontact.kde.org or developer.kde.org, relevant standards, other projects)

I'm sure we can add much more to these lists. We really have a lot of information which currently resides at obscure places like SVN, mailing list archives or the heads of kdepim people. Let's put this together at a place where people are able to actually find it, at kontact.kde.org and pim.kde.org.
