Hello all,

I have started to update the KPhotoAlbum's user manual. The manual can
be accessed as online help or khelpcenter "page" and should become
available in the docs.kde.org as HTML and PDF once it is acceptable.
How to see my current changes is described below.

This job is going to need quite a bit of help from others. For
starters all the screenshots need to be re-newed with a recent version
of KPA and KDE. I suggest that someone who is using KDE based system
will do the screenshots so the look would be correct. (I use Gnome on
Ubuntu.) Also the texts should be revised. If someone is willing to
write some sections that would be great, plain text is sufficient if
docbook format is alien to you.

So far I have not made any commits on the documents but the current
slightly updated version is viewable as HTML on
http://www.vaarin.kalsarit.net/KPA/manual/ch01.html . Main changes so
far are:
- The Viewer - additions to the end -
http://www.vaarin.kalsarit.net/KPA/manual/ch05.html
- Generating HTML - tiny additions -
http://www.vaarin.kalsarit.net/KPA/manual/ch07.html
- Configuring KPhotoAlbum - additions to the beginning -
http://www.vaarin.kalsarit.net/KPA/manual/ch10.html

I am sure there are a lot of errors and outdated instructions that
should be corrected at least in the other parts of the document. Also
a lot of functionality is missing. However, documenting every single
detail of KPA is not the point of this documentation. I think this
should be good enough intro so people can use KPA effectively.

Sample workflows might be useful to be added at the end. E.g. I shoot
RAW, review and tag images on KPA, send selected images for
development on Bibble/AfterShot and generate jpegs to the Picture
hierarchy. Once this is done I check through the images and make final
selection before exporting to static HTML pages for the boredom of my
friends and colleagues.

So would this kind of section be useful with two or three different
work-flows described? Volunteers to write about their work-flow?
Anyone willing to reserve specific sections for writing/updating? Screenshots?
