Recruit more people. There's only so much documentation Phil and I can manage on our own, and you're seeing the result. Report them as bugs, we *are* going through the bugs and fixing things, and yes, translators make great bug reporters. An actual list of 'things that need fixing' saves a lot of time. There's a pre KDE 3.2 list at http://people.fruitsalad.org/lauri/docs/ - much of what's on there, Phil has now filed as bugs, and we intend to use Bugzilla in future to help with tracking what needs doing. > I think the best should be developers send an information to the docs > writers when new functions appear. Best of luck making that happen. All they have to do is put a GUI: in their cvs commit logs, and I will get a separate copy of the mail to forward to the (largely nonexistent) document maintainers. > Is there somebody or a team to check the consistency of all the > documentations ? What there is of a team, is on the kde-doc-english@ mailing list, not this one. Bug reports also show up there. Phil and I went through literally a couple of hundred documents each pre KDE 3.2, and cleaned up a whole lot of things, and this is an ongoing process. Right now, bugzilla reports are the best thing you can do currently. It's helpful if you file bugs on a per doc basis (makes it easier to keep track of as we work on fixing them.)
