</div></div>Hi Albert,<br>
<br>
We want to move the docs *wiki* to the KDE wiki system.<br>
<br>
We present our finished docs in two places: the most important is in<br>
the ISO, and the other is on <a href="http://docs.kubuntu.org" target="_blank">http://docs.kubuntu.org</a>. So our finished<br>
docs wouldn't change, except that we hope that we will also have<br>
translations. Right now, we have none of those wonderful translations.<br>
<br>
IF the web team is cool with us using the KDE userbase wiki to work on<br>
Kubuntu docs, then we will write to the translation teams and see if<br>
they are willing to help us out that way. There are Kubuntu<br>
translators who are willing to help as well, but there is no easy way<br>
for them to do that right now. The userbase translation plugin would<br>
be really helpful to us.<br>
<br>
I think it would be difficult for KDE to allow us to present our<br>
finished docs on <a href="http://kde.org" target="_blank">kde.org</a> infra, when other distros don't do this.<br>
