Hi,
the Kate and KWrite documentation is now (since kate/kwrite switched to git
and kdebase was splitted) in kdebase-runtime on docs.kde.org.
In svn we had kwrite docs in kdebase and kate docs in kdesdk.
From Joe Users pov I'd expect him to look for KWrite in kde-baseapps, where it
appparently belongs. An Editor is obviously a basic application for every
Desktop Environment.
Sure there is a search field (top-left) on the d.k.o page which enables the
user to find any existing documentation quickly as long he knows the
application (folder) name in the git/svn repo.
Judging from bug reports I had to deal with user tend to overlook this search
field.
Reason why it is now in kdebase-runtime is the script extracting the source
docbooks for language generation, this can be easily changed with a full l10n-
kde4 checkout.
I talked with our famous i18n-coordinator aacid about this issue, he has no
oblections if we change that to our liking and needs for d.k.o.
I also talked with Dominik Haumann (kate devel) about the location of
kate/kwrite docs on d.k.o and he aggreed that kdebase-runtime is probably not
the folder a user expects to find this documentation.
So it is up to the documentation team where the Kate / Kwrite should be on
d.k.o, so I'd like to read your comments:
1) kate+kwrite in kdebase-runtime (as now)
2) kate+kwrite in kdebase-baseapps
3) splitted: kwrite in kdebase-baseapps + kate in kdesdk(?) as in svn, but I'm
not sure about any drawbacks of such a split.
I tend to 2)
