This sounds great! 

And in regards to the other mail. I do understand that you don't have time and 
I did not mean to complain or criticise anyone. I am just trying to help 
kde-docs by supporting a method in which more non-programmers can help in 
their spare time. i think if we will manage to do this whether through the 
Wiki or the edit function we will only better the KDE documentation.

For me the Wiki seems good for now. I just have to get on to it. There may be 
some formatting limitations but I will limit myself to what the Wiki can do.

And I do agree with the concerns about uncontrolled editing. I am wondering if  
controlling who has edit rights may help. In any case I understand the 
limitations of the wiki and incompatibility with the current khelp system.

And to further explain my problem:
Yes, I can send documentation to the list but I found that as I get into the 
manual I always go back to previous chapters and re-edit or change a logical 
structure or even delete redundant stuff. So I realized that I cannot just 
send the manual piece by piece as I will always have to bother the docbooker 
with edits and we are just doing more work on each side. So I decided to 
finish the manual before I submit it for docbooking to save "yalls" time. (as 
they say here in the US south). 
This sounds fine but I found that, now, I am faced with a much bigger task and 
it gets discouraging. Plus, nobody can use what I have done so far even if it 
is not perfect. 
This was the point of view from which I was supporting a wiki system. But I 
have to say that the edit one sounds even better. Hope it also works fine.

Let us know when the edit function becomes available.

And hey, a little debate now and then is useful! We get to understand each 
others concerns better. Important is that we are well-intended.

Cheers,
Adrian
