Dolphin is not intended to be a competitor to Konqueror: Konqueror acts as universal viewer being able to show HTML pages, text documents, folders and a lot more, whereas Dolphin focuses on being only a file manager. This approach allows to optimize the user interface for the task of file management.

The easiest way to get involved with Dolphin is to drop the developers an email. If you email Peter Penz (Lead Developer/Project Leader), what you can do, how much time you can devote etc. and he will let you know what you can do in the project. If you wish to contribute to the documentation email Michael Austin (Documentation Leader). He can then fill you in on the situation e.g. what needs to be added/finished, the procedure for submitting documentation.

The email addresses of Peter Penz and Michael Austin can be found on the main page of the documentation, or in the Credits section.

Bug reports should only be submitted for released versions of Dolphin, please do not submit bug reports for the Subversion release of Dolphin as this is expected to break due to its constant development.

The official channel for submitting bug reports is via the KDE bug tracking system. Alternatively bug reports can be emailed to Peter Penz (email address is found on the main page or the credits section).
