Ok I've been testing the pot files a bit and they seem to work ok. What
we need is a list of documents that we want translated, including
kubuntu documents. So far, I've made pots for:

* About Ubuntu
* Faqguide

Please add to this list! Is kquickguide, kuserguide, about-kubuntu and
so on ready for release/translation? Perhaps this can be discussed in
the meeting tomorrow and a list posted here. I can't make the meeting.
As soon as this is done pots can be made and uploaded to rosetta.

For those who want to try, pot files can be made with "xml2po -o
example.pot example.xml". For documents with more than one xml file, use
xml2po --help ;)
