Great! I'm sure Sebastian can tell you what's needed in terms of content, and we (the documentation team) can help with any technical details, style, etc. > I am however not familiar with Docbook and I would prefer to just work in a > simple format (text/OO) and let the others worry about the layout since > this assures uniformity throughout the entire documentation. No problem - if you send your changes in plain text to this list, we have people who can add the necessary docbook and merge it into the existing docs. > I can also work in translating to Romanian and I have already contacted the > team leader in Internationalisation. Excellent, I'm sure they'll welcome the help. > Pls let me know what I have to do / who I have to contact directly. I don't have k3b installed here to check the details, but the existing doc looks fairly detailed. A good way to start would be to work out what needs to be done - if you know already, that's great, otherwise, just look through the doc and compare it to the app, and ask Sebastian if he knows of any particular things that need doing. Then, if you're happy with your plan for what to do, you can start writing. It's probably easiest if you send each small section to this list when you've completed it, then we can add the docbook and put it into SVN. That way, we can make sure you're on the right track, and you can do the work in bitesize chunks. For some other resources, take a look at the first few sections of the doc primer: http://l10n.kde.org/docs/doc-primer/ you can also find us on IRC in #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net , and of course this list. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
