Documentation freeze date is always some time after the message freeze date, 
it's very hard to write anything when the GUI is being rearranged underneath 
you all the time.   Many writers don't even start until the message freeze.

Jonathan Drews had offered to help with some of this, I'm posting also the 
doc-english list as a call for help:

KWord doc is largely done, but Mike is not available to work on it anymore, so 
it needs more or less a final proofread and any updates from the last few 
weeks.

KSpread is taken care of by Pam Roberts, but I'm not sure of the status of 
that, so, CC'ing Pam too.

KChart and KFormula are taken care of by Jonathan Drews, and are ok as it 
stands.  

Kugar is written by it's own developers.  

Kivio has no documentation at all (it never has, and we were previously 
'discouraged' from providing any - I guess this situation changes now with a 
new maintainer.)

KPresenter is probably the one with the most work to do, and I was going to 
have a go at cleaning that up myself in the next few weeks.

If anyone is looking for something to do, this is a good place to start, 
please follow up to this on the doc-english list.

Weird.  Works for me http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english

In any case the documentation writers (what there are of us) use 
kde-doc-english.
