Fwd: [kde-doc-english] KOffice in the User Guide

[Raphael Langerhorst]

Hi all,

As you might have noticed, KDE 3.4 will bring a completely rewritten 
User Guide which is to be a great intorduction into most aspects of 
KDE, in particular from the users perspective.

At the moment, much has already been written, but the User Guide is 
missing a section about KOffice. If you feel like wanting to write a 
gentle introduction about what can KOffice do for a user feel free to 
join the kde-doc-english mailing list and ask for the details:

https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english

You can also discuss our ideas on the koffice lists of course, but the 
kde-doc-english list is recommended.

See also the forwarded message below.

Please keep in mind that message freeze in kdebase (where the user 
guid is) is on 22nd February!

Cheers,
Raphael

Hi,
I recently noticed that the new User Guide is missing a section about
 KOffice. Obviously, this is quite a large oversight, so I was
 wondering if anyone would like to add something.

Content suitable for the Guide would be an introduction to KOffice,
 or a short article about some general feature (eg, 'Using the
 frames-based model of KWord'). Take a look at the current content to
 get an idea:
kdebase/doc/userguide or
http://people.fruitsalad.org/phil/kde/userguide-tng

It needn't necessarily be new content - you can reuse something from
 the existing documentation. We did that with, for example, the kmail
 and knode 'setting up' sections.

This sort of thing also seems to be a good way for new contributors
 to get involved, so perhaps someone who works on KOffice docs would
 like to forward this to the koffice or koffice-devel mailing lists.

As ever, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Phil
