| Definitely.  It's absolutely in the plans for KHelpcenter to collect up a
| lot of this kind of very task oriented HOWTO information. If you have CVS
| checked out, you might like to have a look at kdebase/khelpcenter/DESIGN
| for the 'big picture' plan.    You'll see that the howto's on your site (I
| assume, my dutch is nonexistent!) are precisely the thing we had in mind to
| add.

I read kdebase/khelpcenter/DESIGN ... For me it is a more like a "technical 
paper" which discusses a new structure for khelpcenter. I read in this that 
you want to limit the length of tutorials and that you cleary don't agree on 
that. Well I think so too that tutorials should have the length which is 
needed for clear understanding of the subject ....

| and make it a 'How To...' folder instead, but there are other GUI ideas

Okay ... so you do accept tutorials and are there any tutorials already 
avaible within CVS? Anyway ... as soon as we have laid out our multilingual 
approach for our own website/CVS I will submit some translations. I know 
where to look and find you  :o)
