Guided tour, spoken documentation

KDE has an old "quickstart" guide (which IIRC is unmaintained) which you can 
view by entering help:/khelpcenter/quickstart in konqueror. If you'd be 
interested in updating or expanding the guide, or generally discussing it (it 
might be best as some sort of framework that distributors can modify to suit 
their particular distribution, as an example off the top of my head), please 
pop in to kde-doc-english at kde.org, where you can find the KDE documentation 
team. You can also find us on IRC in #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net .

AFAIK, no one is working on such a system, but it would be an interesting 
idea. I think that, again, the best place to discuss this would be the 
kde-doc-english mailing list or IRC channel.

Regards,
Philip
