When thinking about how to improve the KDE documentation situation, I realized that I don't really know a lot about how people use our documentation and what our user's requirements actually are.
What about doing a survey and ask users about their current use of documentation and their ideas how it could be improved? We could ask questions to find out: - How do users get help? - How frequently do users use the different tools and systems (KHelpcenter, what's this help, online manuals, userbase, forums, google, etc.) - Do users have Internet connections? - Do users need printable manuals? - Would users be willing to contribute to documentation? - What kind of tools and formats do documentation contributors prefer? - How much do users rely on translated manuals? - What parts of the manuals are users using? - What would users like to see in addition to what we already have? How do you like this idea? -- Cornelius Schumacher <schumacher at kde.org>
