+
+The bug report count of KTextEditor (implementing the editing part used in Kate/KWrite/KDevelop/Kile/...) and Kate itself reached again
+some value over 200.
+
+If you have time and need an itch to scratch, any help to tackle the currently open bugs would be highly appreciated.
+
+The full list can be found with this [bugs.kde.org query](https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=grave&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=crash&bug_severity=normal&bug_severity=minor&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&columnlist=bug_severity%2Cpriority%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Ccomponent%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate%2Cop_sys%2Crep_platform%2Creporter&list_id=1624725&order=bug_id%20DESC&product=frameworks-ktexteditor&product=kate&query_based_on=Kate%2FKWrite%20Bugs&query_format=advanced).

+Easy things anybody with a bit time could do would be:
+
+* check if the bug still is there with current master builds, if not, close it it
+* check if it is the duplicate of a similar still open bug, if yes, mark it as duplicate
+
+Beside that, patches for any of the existing issues are very welcome.
+
+I think the best guide how to setup some development environment is on our [KDE Community Wiki](https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source).
+I myself use a kdesrc-build environment like described there, too.
+
+Patches can be submitted for an review via our [KDE Phabricator](https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/).
+
+If it is just a small change and you don't want to spend time on Phabricator, attaching a git diff versus current master to the bug is ok, too.
+Best mark the bug with a **[PATCH]** prefix in the subject.
+
+The team working on the code is small, therefore please be a bit patient if you wait for reactions.
+I hope we have improved our reaction time in the last months but we still are lacking in that respect.
