I'm very happy to announce a new document for inspiring KDE hackers, entitled "Common Programming Mistakes". The document aims to combine the experience of many of the top KDE developers about the Qt and KDE frameworks dos and don'ts. The way they were usually passed on to the next generation was by letting the youngsters make the mistakes and then yell at them in public. We will go over things, which are not necessarily bugs, but which make the code either slower or less readable.

I needed to learn how to develop a plugin structure for my baby KimDaba, and what better way is there to learn, than to write a howto about it? So I did, and with the help from the real experts (Simon Hausmann, David Faure, g++, et al), I'm pretty convinced this will be of value to anyone who either wants to add a plugin structure to an application, or who wants to write a plugin.
