== Why this page? ==

This page was initiated by [http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-mac/2014-February/000849.html this post on KDE-MAC] and a PM discussion regarding [http://randa-meetings.ch/2014/02/19/randa-meetings-2014-the-date-is-set-please-register Randa participation] of MacPorts developers. It shall serve as a place to highlight certain KDE-related tickets which need special attention in order to bring KDE's integration on MacPorts forward.

Special maintainer/developer information - which is not covered in the [wiki:KDE KDE wiki page] - could be gathered here.
