KDE Goals

KDE Goals

KDE is a large and diverse community working on hundreds of projects. Every two years, we vote on three overarching goals to direct our efforts. This cycle's focus is to improve user experience for input devices, support developers, and foster community growth.

KDE for Enterprise and Deployments

Make KDE a more viable choice for businesses and public institutions by improving enterprise features such as centralized authentication, network management, system administration, and remote access. In the long-term, the idea is to build enough demand for enterprise distributions to bring Plasma and the KDE software stack back into the offerings of enterprise distributions.

Champions: David Edmundson, Neal Gompa, Kai Uwe Broulik and Kevin Ottens

Better Documentation

Make KDE documentation more useful, accurate, and easier to maintain by centralizing scattered resources, focusing on practical tutorials, improving translation support, and modernizing the documentation infrastructure. The goal is to help users and contributors find reliable information quickly, without outdated or duplicated content getting in the way.

Champions: Nate Graham, Thiago Masato Costa Sueto and Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss

Next Generation Styling for KDE

Improve how KDE software is styled, making it easier to maintain a consistent look across KDE applications and Plasma desktop. The goal is to make creating, adapting, and maintaining styles easier for both designers and developers by integrating the Ocean design system and developing the Union styling engine.

Champions: Arjen Hiemstra, Akseli Lahtinen and Andy Betts
