Firstly and most importantly, I think we need to work on recruiting and keeping more contributors. I guess this kind of goes without saying, and it's not a particular KDE 4 issue, but it's important nonetheless. In terms of procedure, there's one thing that I'd welcome ideas on: how to make sure that the important new features are documented. I think that important 3.4 and 3.5 features like the media:/ framework and kopete webcam support [1] could have got a bit more documentation, which would require a co-ordinated approach between coders and us. Some 'technical' things: The HCI working group has come up with a nice proposal for integration of tooltips, whatsthis help and docs [2]. We're about to start looking for a coder to produce an implementation so that we can take it forward. It would be nice for KHelpCenter to get some love. We had a late-night discussion about it at aKademy '04, for which there's a wiki page somewhere. This would require input from usability people and of course coders. I could probably come up with other things, but that should do for now. Cheers, Philip 1. Just examples off the top of my head - I hope I'm not stepping on the toes of anyone who worked on docs for those 2. http://www.userbrain.de/whatsthis/ideas_whatsthis_january06_v1.1.pdf -- KDE Documentation Team: http://i18n.kde.org/doc KDE Documentation Online: http://docs.kde.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
