THE INTERVIEW
In what ways do you make a contribution to KDE?

I started maintaining Kanagram after I fixed something in it for Anne-Marie Mahfouf for the 4.0 release. I helped a bit with the Plasma background dialog (adding the slideshow mode, etc.) I also maintain the KNewStuff2 library now.

So what is KNewStuff2?

KNewStuff2 is just the successor of KNewStuff, it will support DXS, which is currently in development.
