KDE's Konqueror Is In Need Of A New Maintainer

Written by Michael Larabel in KDE on 17 August 2014 at 10:21 AM EDT. 41 Comments

KDE's Konqueror web-browser is in need of a new maintainer and for some love to port it to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.

The current maintainer of Konqueror doesn't have much time to invest in the program and is looking for someone to take up the slack and port the code to the modern KDE/Qt interfaces. Besides bringing Konqueror into a world of Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5, a new GUI has long been sought after by Konqueror.

KDE fans using Konqueror interested in its future or open-source developers looking to potentially get involved can learn more about the Konqueror maintainership role via the KDE blog.
