[kde-doc-english] Digikam + Kipi-Plugin Docbooks

[Burkhard Lück]

Hi,

we have a problem with the Digikam + Kipi-Plugin Docbooks in foreseen future 
more than already now and in the past.

>From my pov it was a big failure to put the digikam and kiipiplugins docs into 
their own repos separated from the code where the docbooks silently bitrot.

Years ago (around gigikam 3.7?) I started to cleanup + update kipi docbooks, 
but gave up due to all the problems in nearly all digikam/kipi releases from 
3.7 to now (missing en docbooks, missing translated docbooks, missing gui 
translations...)

I see a lot of cleanup (move/rename/delete) in kipi in preparation for kf5 
now, therefore the corresponding docbooks will be useless in kf5, so we would 
have to ignore them and should no longer track them for translation in the 
current status.

What about this plan:

1) File a review request for digikam/kipi to move/copy  both doc repos back 
into the code repos
2) Maybe leave the old doc repos read only in git
3) we strip down the docbooks in the code repos to basic information we are 
able to keep up to date.

Alternativly we should skip digikam + kipi docbooks completely.

Comments?
