Well in fact you don't *have* to use kate and/or docbook at all. We'll be quite happy with plain text files submitted to us and then we can go out and do the markup. Of course we'd like it if you tried :-D You're choice of editor isn't limited to what KDE provides either, you can use whatever you wish and there are people here who are quite active that use emacs, some probably use vi, I myself use quanta so what you use is totally up to you. As for direction, the general speech i received when i asked included 1. Files should be saved in utf-8. 2. Screenshots should be of default KDE install. 3. Have fun :-) Ok I don't actually remember being told to have fun, but it helps with those really long docs... like the one in kdepim :-)
Before starting work on a doc try coordinating with the list or #kde-docs or even #kde-pim in your case to make sure that you're not duplicating any effort. The fact that you've mailed the list means you're probably on top of that already ;-) http://i18n.kde.org/doc/gettingstarted.php http://i18n.kde.org/doc/markup/index.html http://i18n.kde.org/doc/screenshots.php > > Sincerely, > > uzoma > _______________________________________________ > kde-doc-english mailing list > kde-doc-english at kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
