For my part, I'm only dealing with user docs, and desperately in need of help.

In fact, if you want to help in the immediate term, that's what I'm doing 
right now (which is sort of tedious - reading through the docs along with the 
apps to id the ones that really don't need help.)  If you can help with that, 
I'll give anyone interested a list of which ones they could look at. 

It's pretty important everyone coordinate with me, just so we don't duplicate 
effort, since we don't have a lot of resources to spare.

There's a fair bunch of apps that are quite mature, and the docs will need 
little or even  no work.  That'd be things like most of the games, and the 
smaller utilities, toys, things in kdeadmin etc.

Off the top if my head, absolute top priority is Konqueror, which recently 
became unmaintained.  There's an excellent doc in place, it probably needs 
fairly minimal work to bring up to date for KDE 3.2.   Next would be kmail, 
which also has a very well done and complete doc, but I know Daniel could do 
with some help giving it a final update (please contact him directly if you 
want to work on that)  I consider these flagship KDE apps, and it's vital 
they have 

Second most important is the FAQ which quite frankly is a disaster and hasn't 
been really maintained in a couple of years.  Next up would be the 
applications that have no docs at all, and are new to KDE - Kontact would 
have to be the most urgent of these, Kopete is another.

I'll have a more complete list in a day or so, when I've finished going 
through them all (you would be astonished how many apps are in KDE nowdays!)
