Yep, that's the description of the Docbook/edited version at:
 http://usability.kde.org/hig/current/

The problem is that we have two HIGs in CVS, while we only link to the one at:
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/index.htm

This gives me the creep, because users mail me about "the" HIG, and I have no 
responsibility for the latter. We must remove one of them, I think.

To me, I think the Docbook'd version is superior(see above). Also, since we'll 
use it as base for our future HIG, it's pretty good to has as our old.  
However, I wasn't involved in re-adding the hig at developer.kde.org and 
redirecting the links, so someone else will have to speak up.

Could people state their opinions? I'll happily remove the one at 
usability.kde.org, but it would be much easier for me if someone explained to 
me why it's the best alternative.
