KSpell2 shares ispell plugin with Enchant. This means that ispell 
dictionaries for enchant have to be downloaded from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15518&release_id=84373 
in order for it to work. The problem is that people get confused by it, 
because they think that installing the default ispell is enough and get 
surprised when it doesn't work. So resolving that issue is the only 
thing that's keeping me from porting the rest of kde to kspell2. 

As for porting documentation, I haven't wrote any so far.

Assuming that the issue would resolved then yeah.
