Yeah, that's a good idea. I read the handbooks for the games in this module 
more than any other set of applications in KDE because I often load up a game 
having never played it before and so have no idea of the rules etc. I've 
already got the bare bones of a handbook written so I'll add this information 
sometime soon.

Well I guess the meeting tomorrow will be a good time to bring this up.

I'm gonna try to make the meeting. Even if I'm not there in person, I'll be 
connected to IRC and idling the channel so I read what happened when I get 
home from university.
