<br><br>Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier about this. I've just taken a look at<br>Keep and it seems like it doesn't yet have any documentation, so you should<br>get in touch with the developer and tell him that you're interested in
<br>working on creating docs for it - he might already have an outline for docs,<br>or some ideas that might be useful.<br><br>How you proceed after that is up to how you prefer to work :-). I'd suggest<br>making an outline first, so you have an idea of what you want to include in
<br>each section. Feel free to send the outline to the list if you'd like some<br>comments on it. Then it's up to you what order you prefer to write it in -<br>I'd suggest writing the "Getting Started" or "Basic Usage" section first, and
<br>then moving onto other sections.<br><br>You can do all this working in plain text, and then send the plain text to the<br>list, where we'll find someone to add the necessary docbook markup, so you<br>don't need to worry about it. We can also provide editing and comments, so if
<br>you send each section/chapter as you write it, that will hopefully work out<br>well both for us and you.<br><br>I guess you've already seen the resources listed in other mails, but as a<br>reminder, we're in #kde-docs on
<a href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a>, and we have a documentation<br>primer at <a href="http://l10n.kde.org/docs/doc-primer/index.html">http://l10n.kde.org/docs/doc-primer/index.html</a> .<br><br>If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. And welcome to
<br>the docs team! :-)<br><br>Regards,<br>Philip<br><br></blockquote></div>
<div>Once you have a document done then what do you do with it? Submit it to the list? For example another document that I'm 90% done with is for Adept Manager (Kubuntu's default package manager). Do I tar the entire directory and atttach it to the list or is there some other way of submitting potential documents.
</div>
<div>Do other people then verify it meets the styles/standards for the other documents?</div>

<div>Hope I don't overwhelm with what are probablly basic questions</div>
