Hello Mario!

Thanks for posting! Though you email Valorie and I instead of the
kubuntu-users mailing list, that's ok :)

On IRC we use "nicknames" ex. mine is ahoneybun in #kubuntu-devel, and all
others I'm in.
Quassel will work just fine at the end of the day it is up to you what
tools to use with IRC or anything in Kubuntu.

You can introduce yourself to the mailing list, kubuntu-users and
kubuntu-devels I believe.
The IRC rooms are:
- #kubuntu for support to Kubuntu users
- #kubuntu-devel for development of Kubuntu

For Documentation we are using the userbase at kde here:
https://userbase.kde.org/Kubuntu
and errors, ideas, or typos are more then welcomed :)

For testing and packaging you can join in #kubuntu-devel as we are doing
all that in there.

And last but very much important, YES you can be of help to our wonderful
community!
