Hello,
This is my first attempt at improving any KDE documentation. I have
not completed my work, I have just lightly modified kget's
index.docbook to make the language more formal. Please tell me where
have I gone wrong. I will update the menu reference subsequently.
Thanks a lot. As this is my first mail, please also tell me if my
etiquette is not right. E.g. the subject line, the method of attaching
patch. The patch is against
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdenetwork/doc/kget/index.docbook?view=log
Regards,
