where's the difference to 
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/sysadmin/muon or all the *suse 
branches in svn/work?

I don't know the Kubuntu documentation, but apart from installation there 
should not be much which is Kubuntu specific. If it's about the applications it 
should be merged with the upstream documentation in my opinion. Better docs 
for everyone :-) I just had a short look at http://docs.kubuntu.org and I'm 
quite sure that it could be reworked to not be Kubuntu specific. E.g. the 
Getting Involved could be rewritten to be generic for all distributions by 
having multiple sections:
* Kubuntu
* openSUSE
* Arch
* ...

Kubuntu could then just extract the relevant part for their documentation. Or 
am I missing something?
