In line with the project's committment to openness, the KDE developers and contributors are not a secretive bunch. In fact, the ["People Behind KDE"](http://behindkde.org/) initiative has provided the community with interviews of quite a number of the developers. And by reading those interviews, haven't you ever felt the need of asking a specific question, outside from those prepared by the interviewer? For example, more details about what the specific developer is doing, or what his/her plans are for the next version of KDE.

So far, all that was just a passing thought in someone's mind. Not anymore... because today I'd like to introduce the newest initiative by the KDE Community Forums, in cooperation with other members of the KDE community: **KDialogue!**

_How does it work?_
|
|
|
|
At fixed intervals, a KDE contributor will be asked to participate in a dialogue. The community will be able to propose questions in a special forum set up at the KDE Community Forums, and people can vote on questions they would like to see answered (in a similar vein, although simplified, to the KDE Brainstorm). It means that _you_, the community members, choose the questions. The voting will stay opened into seven days before the dialogue, and at that point that the top-voted questions will be emailed to the contributor. The answers will be then published on the [behindkde.org](http://behindkde.org/) web page.

The first KDialogue will be announced soon. Take the chance to **be part** of the community!
