[kde-doc-english] KDE User Guide outdated?

[Arturo Silva]

Hello again,

I've actually been learning a bit more about how the SVN repositories
worked and successfully managed to find where the User Guide is stored
at in KDE4's trunk repository.

Here it is using the WebSVN viewer:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/doc/userguide/

The actual files can be downloaded to your computer either by using
this command in the test directory of your choice:

     svn co -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/trunk/kdebase/runtime/doc

Or by opening svn://anonsvn.kde.org/trunk/kdebase/runtime/doc in the
KDESVN graphical client (as seen in the attached).

The actual helpcenter manuals are stored here in your system:

     /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/khelpcenter

About the only thing I have not figured out yet is how to edit the
DocBook files graphically or how to open them without overwriting the
existing DocBooks.  Hopefully someone can chime in there.

===============

That issue aside, updating the User Manual (or for that matter the
Quick Start Guide or Visual Dictionary) does look more and more
possible, although clearly this is still a long-term thing.  If there
are no objections, I wouldn't mind at least starting to update a few
of these pages.  I figure it would be good practice for doing SVN
commits and the like, and maybe to learn more things about KDE4 that I
may have never noticed before.

Some thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. Thanks!
