In Plasma 6, multiple regression happened to the application dashboard, which is by far my favorite launcher. I did file bug reports and all that, but I would love to try to contribute by fixing some of the bugs. Where do I start and what are the required skills?

    Woah! Didn’t use the Dashboard for 6 months and now I see it has totally changed.
    I might start using it as an alternative.

        Great! Then you should look for the dashboard’s git repository, compile it and look through the codebase to try and understand it.

          That is kind of where I am stuck - the repo only has a “metadata.json” file, nothing else.

            I can’t be sure, but think this is what you are looking for:
            In: git@invent.kde.org:plasma/plasma-workspace.git Go to ->/plasma-workspace/applets/kicker/plugin/dashboardwindow.h
