<kde-pim related area> <snip: a lot of good info on the docs status> Thanks, Lauri. With your update and the kde-pim list update that you probably didn't read, I updated the KDE PIM Quality Team Tasks page with the docs information: http://kde.ground.cz/tiki-index.php?page=Quality+Team+KDE+PIM I will copy all the people mentioned in these page, as I don't know if they are subscribed, and it is unpolite to mention someone without their knowledge. Also, they may have corrections to make. </kde-pim related area> > On documentation quality team jobs generally: > If someone is willing to do a finer grained review, a list of specific > issues, new items to be added, and things that are no longer accurate, > would be a huge help for me (and the team), either on a doc-by-doc basis, > or for the whole module (or indeed, for any document you can find.)

It unfortunately requires an unstable KDE build, but otherwise is indeed a great introductory task. I will add it to the KDE Quality Team Tasks Page: http://www.kde.org/areas/quality/develop/modules/ Look in the documentation section for the new and the old tasks (The new task may take some time to appear, as I will commit these changes now.) BTW, I have a documentation section in the KDE quality page. It is not complete yet, and I know how to make it better, but I rather rewrite it later, when I will have more documentation experience. If you find something to correct there, please drop me a line: http://www.kde.org/areas/quality/develop/howto/howtodocs.php The KDE Quality Team Project will be launched Monday.
