In fact exactly what I'm doing for the moment. I have
already updated the KOffice Handbook (still waiting
for some feedback regarding 2 minor matters from you
Lauri).

I'm planning to do the rest as well. But my time is a
limited resource. So within these time constraints
this is what I can do and plan to do the following
months for KOffice.

1. Go through all the handbooks and check them for
consistency with the GUI and make the necessary
corrections;

2. Update the screenshots;

3. Add more screenshots when I feel that the handbook
needs it.

4. Translate the whole lot into dutch (I've already
finished the KOffice handbook)

As for my project to make a 'longer' KSpread
Handbook...I've put that on the backburner as I feel
that I should focus on the whole of KOffice to help
the entire suite forward (=get more users) and I think
that we really don't need another handbook in the same
style as the ones that exist (but longer) but rather a
couple of 'hands-on' chapters,
'how-do-I-achieve-this-with-KOffice stuff really that
could be added to the existing handbooks.

Regards

Marc

P.S. I've already committed the updated version of the
handbook after Malcolm proofread the changes that I
made.
