UserBase は初めてですか？

UserBase の閲覧は、誰にも開かれています。もし UserBase に貢献したいのでしたら、アカウントを作成してください。アカウントを作成すると以下の利点があります:

• ユーザー名と、草稿を書く際に活用可能なユーザーページが与えられます。
• ページをウオッチリストに登録し、更新された際に通知させることができます。
• あなたの成果物は、ほかの人からもユーザー名によって容易に識別可能なようになります。
• KDE コミュニティーの一員になれます。
• そのほかもっと！

登録はとても迅速かつ容易にできますので、詳細は以下を読み進めてください。

アカウント作成

First you will need to have either an OpenID account or a KDE Identity. KDE Identity is recommended as it is better integrated with KDE websites. You can get one from here.

Back at UserBase, at the right bottom of the sidebar on any page you'll see the Log in links. Click on OpenID / Identity login, choose your login method (e.g. KDE Identity) and login with it. You will then be prompted to create a username for the UserBase.

You'll notice that under Personal Tools it now shows your username, and you have some other links. Take a little time to browse those pages, especially the My Preferences page where you may want to set the timezone under the Date and time tab.

Note

Due to a recent heavy bout of spamming it has become necessary to tighten up login procedures, which is why the old plain account creation has disappeared. If you have an account which uses OpenID, such as Google or Yahoo identities (there are others, too) you may use them, but we strongly advise you to create an Identity account. One account gives you access to many KDE services, and there is no down-side. You will not be spammed with messages about any KDE service you haven't subscribed to.

No doubt you have lots of questions, and UserBase looks a little daunting at first sight, but there are many pages that help you get started.

Finding Pages in the same Category

At the bottom of a page you should find a category link, which will look like [[Category:Getting Started]]. If a page is relevant to more than one category it might look something like [[Category:Getting Started|Contributing]]. If you hover over the category statement (the real one, not this display dummy) you will see that each of those categories is a link to another page. On that page you will find a listing of related pages.

Starting to Contribute to English pages

Note

All new content must be in English. The reason is that the translation system allows changes on the English pages to be passed for translation. It is not possible to operate in the reverse, changing a translated page and passing the change back to the English page.

When you are logged in you have an Edit icon (or tab, depending on the theme you use) on every page. Your "My preferences" link will also give you the choice of having edit links for each section. These can be used to make a small edit or add a snippet to an existing page. You might also find it useful to set "Preview" as a default. You will find guidelines on the Modify a Page page.

If you are interested in creating a whole page (or series of pages), you will find a short introduction to relevance of content and on the same page there are links to How-To pages for most common tasks.

Whatever happens, you are not alone. If you hit a problem don't be afraid to ask. Use "Discussion" pages for questions about the topics under discussion - they are usually picked up quite quickly. There is also a forum topic for questions about editing. Quick questions that don't need a lengthy answer can also be asked on Freenode IRC, channel #kde-www.

Information

You will find help for many common tasks on the Tasks and Tools page

Above all, we want UserBase to be an enjoyable experience, both for readers and contributors.

Working with page translation

If you want to get started in translating documents, you will find information on Translate a Page. Use the sidebar link to apply for adding to the Translator group. The sidebar link Translation Tools is a good way to monitor what is happening to translations to your language.
