This is great. I tried to convince someone to help out with or review the 
(lame) guide I wrote six months ago, when I had little experience with docs. 
It is mostly a collection of links. Two handbooks later (Cervisia and 
KPilot), I am ready for improving it.

I am glad you are working on something similar in objective. We can work 
together. Where can I find it in CVS? I certainly want to create it with you 
or send you patches.

And quite the other way around: I read your docbook, and in many ways, you 
will not need to duplicating the work we did with some of quality guides. We 
have a building guide, a working with CVS and cercisia guide, in sum a lot of 
infrastructure you may find interesting.

See http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/managestep.php to see some of it.

And, by the way, there is the wiki and the kde.org site. You can get the 
webpages sources at www/areas/quality, if you want to copy and paste stuff.

The best would be to work together. I can strat improving your guide right 
now, than host a copy or link it from the quality site, and call it a joint 
venture :)
