I plan on helping Kubuntu in any way I can. I'll do this mostly by adopting threads in the forums, adding [:HowTos: HowTo] wikis, reporting (and help fixing) bugs, and helping with documentation. Another area I'd like to help in is eliminating the "last mile" of required CLI usage from within Kubuntu.

Eventually I'd like to become a KDE contributer, while still helping Kubuntu (the PREMIERE KDE distribution). Most likely I'll help with the Documentation team and KDE Artists (I'm not much of a hacker).

 * Integrate the Wiki, forums, Official Documentation, and unofficial documentation (already being worked on)
 * Integrate [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106582 SnippetBooks] into Kate (or kdeaddons kate-plugins)
 * Gecko rendering engine for [http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/976 Konqueror] (I wish...)

''The Last Mile - Removing the Command Line Interface''

 * Kynaptic/Kapture DCOP calls. Then my [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23981 Kubuntu Package Menu] can use Kynaptic instead of xterm and kdialog. Fixes need for dpkg commands.
 * [http://kconfigure.sourceforge.net/ KConfigure]. Fixes need for configure, make, make install, and/or checkinstall commands. (suggested on KubuntuSuggestedPackages)
 * [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17201 kio-locate]. Fixes need for locate and find commands (in universe now, but needs to be in main).
 * [http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidance/ Guidance], a bunch of kcontrol modules. Fixes need for manually editing startup scripts, xorg.conf, fstab, and also adds a better user/group GUI. (suggested on KubuntuSuggestedPackages)
 * [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9965 kssh]. Frontend for logging into a Secure Shell, but you still are using a shell, so maybe this is pointless… also, fish:/ (for SCP) works well in konqueror.
 * [http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=23761 KSystemLog]. Fixes need for tailing /var/log files.
