In Plasma 6, multiple regression happened to the application dashboard, which is by far my favorite launcher. I did file bug reports and all that, but I would love to try to contribute by fixing some of the bugs. Where do I start and what are the required skills?

    Yes, I am pretty adept with python and have played around with C and C++

      Great! Then you should look for the dashboard’s git repository, compile it and look through the codebase to try and understand it.

        That is kind of where I am stuck - the repo only has a “metadata.json” file, nothing else.

          I can’t be sure, but think this is what you are looking for:
          In: [email protected]:plasma/plasma-workspace.git Go to ->/plasma-workspace/applets/kicker/plugin/dashboardwindow.h

              I just recently realised that all(well, most of) the plasma stuff was in the same package.
