Code
Get The Source Code
You can find our code repository on GitHub:
github.com/basket-notepads/basket
The repository contains the project's most recent code and probably some features in development.
So we recomend you to backup your data before doing any testing or development.
We're trying to keep the code compilable and usable, but remember: it's not a public release, so sometimes it can be hardly usable for daily needs.
In those cases, get in contanct with the developers or retry a few days later.
You can find instructions to download or clone the repository on Basket project page on GitHub. The README file in the repository contains detailed instructions on how to build Basket and on how you can have your changes integrated into the main repository.
Basket for KDE3
The old KDE3 code has been completely imported into the Git repository above (including the branches), so those are still available.
The maint branch is where the KDE3 code is still being kept. It is frozen and no work will be done on it except for critical bug fixes.
Developer Documentation
There is no explicit developer documentation available at the moment (except wiki on GitHub). If you need help please turn to the developers via IRC or on the mailing list.
