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?

    Woah! Didn’t use the Dashboard for 6 months and now I see it has totally changed.
    I might start using it as an alternative.

      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: git@invent.kde.org: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.
                Got to this repo while looking for breeze sddm theme
