    Get The Source Code
  </h4>
  <p>
    You can find our code repository on <a href="http://github.com">GitHub</a>:
  </p>
  <p>
    <a href="https://github.com/basket-notepads/basket">github.com/basket-notepads/basket</a>
  </p>
  <p>
    The repository contains the project's most recent code and probably some features in development.
    So we recomend you to backup your data before doing any testing or development.<br />
    We're trying to keep the code compilable and usable, but remember: it's not a public release, so sometimes it can be hardly usable for daily needs.
    In those cases, get in contanct with the developers or retry a few days later.
  </p>
  <p>
    You can find instructions to download or clone the repository on <a href="https://github.com/basket-notepads/basket">Basket project page on GitHub</a>.
    The <a href="https://github.com/basket-notepads/basket/blob/master/README.md">README file</a> in the repository contains detailed instructions on how to build Basket and on how you can have your changes integrated into the main repository.
  </p>

  <h5>Basket for KDE3</h5>
  <p>
    The old KDE3 code has been completely imported into the Git repository above (including the branches), so those are still available.
  </p>
  <p>
    The <a href="https://github.com/basket-notepads/basket/tree/maint">maint</a>
    branch is where the KDE3 code is still being kept.
    It is frozen and no work will be done on it except for critical bug fixes.
  </p>

  <!--
  <h4>Additional components</h4>
  <p>For this application, we had to create new components that could also be usefull to other KDE applications. Here they are:</p>
  <dl>
    <dt><a href="systemtray-on-close-info.php">System Tray on Close Info Dialog</a></dt>
      <dd>Integrate the dialog that appears when closing main window in your application;</dd>
    <dt><a href="likeback.php">LikeBack - Quick Feedback from Beta-Testers</a></dt>
      <dd>A simple system to lower down the barriers between the users and the developers.</dd>
  </dl>
