I second Adriaan on this one, Welcome!

Adriaan, I think at UDS you heard from me to stop breaking KPilot (I wasn't 
there physically, but I was listening in) ;) Anways if you want some help 
with this let me know, and Roshan if you are interested in working on the 
KPilot docs I am willing to mentor you through, unless you feel like starting 
a little smaller. If that is the case I can work with you on this Adriaan 
seeing as I am a KPilot junkie.

Roshan, Adriaan is correct. You can send a plain text document to the KDE 
Documentation Teams mailing list (kde-doc-english at kde.org) and we will be 
more than happy to look it over and convert it accordingly.

| KDE4 documentation hasn't really started yet, I don't think.

Not yet, but I am hearing this week is probably going to start the priming. I 
am waiting for Anne-Marie to contact me concerning KOffice2 docs (KOffice2 
meeting this weekend), so I am guessing KDE 4 docs are going to start soon as 
well. This will be a very large task, and the more the merrier. Thanks Roshan 
for your willingness to help and I look forward to working with you.

Roshan, I am nixternal on IRC (Freenode) in #kde-docs and various other #kde* 
channels. You can also email me at nixternal at ubuntu.com with any doc specific 
questions you may have. Thanks again!
