Jonathan, focus on Kubuntu docs. Life at Kubuntu is much easier and not as 
politically or religiously charged as ubuntu. While the ubuntu and kubuntu 
and edubuntu documents are all in svn and under the auspices of the ubuntu 
documentation project (documentation team) there are some major differences 
between the projects.

For kubuntu, you will find that if you install the latest deb, that the 
kubuntu documents are very nicely integrated into khelpcenter. Naturally 
improvements are always welcome, but any integration with khelpcenter will 
have to be made in compliance with kubuntu-devel.

What we need now is that people write texts. All these meetings and dicussions 
are not helping to keep things on track. I would like to suggest that people 
use the mailing list more to resolve issues. I have noticed that agreed items 
from 5 or six meetings back have not been completed and are long forgotten by 
people. There will be no traction in a direction if people do not focus on 
the agreed Breezy objectives detailed in DocteamPriojects.
