This project started to address the problem of unmaintained articles relating to KDE, it is a project to list and organize the articles that need work related to KDE, anyone should feel free to join and participate as the KDE articles are currently sub-standard.

Aims

To ensure that wikipedia can be used as an appropriate reference for KDE programs and technologies.
To ensure that wikipedia articles about KDE don't fall unmaintained or go obsolete.
To ensure that wikipedia articles about KDE are cited, NPOV and factually accurate.
To ensure that articles are created about new KDE technologies and release quickly and effectively.

Articles

Here is a list of the articles that we should be maintaining, they are color coded to help identify weak articles.

Color Key

This is a quick key to help show what each color means for each article.

Color	Description
Green	Article is of good quality and does not need much improvement.
Yellow	Article is good but could still be improved.
Red	Article needs a lot of improvement.
Blue	Article has not yet been written.

The ratings have been drawn up based on my quick scan through each article and are most likely flawed, feel free to change them if you disagree

Core articles

Article	Description
KDE	Main article about KDE
KDE 4	Upcoming releaseof KDE

KDE Applications

KDE 4 tech

These are currently in heavy development and change rapidly, their articles should be updated as new information becomes available. For this reason, the articles should not be judged as critically as other articles and needn't be as long, I do think however the green rating should be used sparingly as at the moment none of the articles are good enough and they tend to need constant updates as development furthers.

Article	Description
Solid	Device integration framework
Phonon	Multimedia API
Akonadi
Decibel	Communication framework, telepathy + Tapioca I believe
Dolphin	New file manager, replaces Konqueror for file managing
Flake
Kross
NEPOMUK-KDE	Compliments Strigi, allows tagging of files with more information
Okular	Document viewer, will replace KPDF, KGhostView, KFax, KFaxview and KDVI.
Oxygen	New visual style
Plasma	Merges kicker, kdesktop and superkaramba into one program. Most notably for widgets
Quasar
Sonnet	Spell check
Soprano
Strigi	Desktop search
ThreadWeaver
