As my decision was quite spontaneous I'm not very familiar with the actual 
status of documentation. So let me tell what I thought might be to do for 
me

- First I subscribed to the mailing list (and find myself "reproducible" 
confrontated with a mailman bug when trying to log into my new account)

- I want to get to know actual doc writers and inform me about current 
status of documentation and who is "motor" of all the work until now

- Read actual documentation delivered with the program versions I'm 
currently using :-)

FYI: I am actually using  SuSE 8.2 with KDE 3.2.0 (I18N-de) on a 
"production system" (real data in KMail, KOrganizer etc.)  - Hardware 
Pentium II / 350 MHz, 512 MB. The packages are the binary version provided 
by SuSE. While upgrading KDE from 3.1 to 3.2 not all packages have been 
updated correctly but I think that the ones corresponding to any 
PIM-project are valid.

So at the time I am using regular user versions of 
KMail, 
KAdressBook,
KAlarm,
KNotes,
KOrganizer
Kontact (runs slowly so I normally use all the programs for their own)

For near future I plan to keep using this "user versions" to get the "end 
user feeling" for the programs, but if it is necessary to run actual CVS 
versions I will organize a second computer as testing environment.

BTW: I prepared a new mail account for this project for me. So please use 
DocCor at qna.de for future communication, or is it possible to get an alias 
@KDE.org for this?
