  KDE Documentation Online
Documentation, I18N, L10N Posted by Dre on Saturday 09/Mar/2002, @14:05
from the help-wanted dept.
Daniel Naber has been busy adding to the KDE.org family. Docs.kde.org is a new KDE documentation site which features KDE user documentation for both the 2.2.2 and HEAD (updated daily) branches. The documentation is both browseable and searchable, and developers of KDE CVS apps can link directly to the appropriate documentation from their application's homepage, saving some work (url format: http://docs.kde.org/<VERSION>/<PACKAGE>/<APPNAME>/, e.g., http://docs.kde.org/HEAD/kdenetwork/kmail/). While only available in English at this juncture, the goal is to eventually add all the translated documentation as well. A very useful new addition to the KDE.org family, thanks, Daniel!

Sweet!

Now, when meinproc fails to work when compiling and installing, I can still get my docs! :)

Thanks Daniel...

    Actually this service does not use meinproc either, but xsltproc. meinproc is only a wrapper around libxslt, meinproc's main task is to care about the chunking, i.e. the splitting up of the HTML into several files. The documentation related software may seem complicated at a first glance, but in fact KDE is using standard tools that are easy to work with.

Image conversion doesn't work, see http://docs.kde.org/2.2.2/kdebase/kicker/using-kicker.html

Forum @ docs
by Jos on Sunday 10/Mar/2002, @12:59
It would be nice to have a forum like this one below all pages in the documentation, so suggestions can be appended quickly by passers-by.

The respective doc maintainers should of course be able to remove redundant information from such a forum.

    Like PHP's "annotated user manual"?
    It would be great indeed! And I think it would really help docs writers focusing their work.

    Anyway, many thanks to Daniel, it's a great job already!!

      :)

      Already on it. I've been looking for something to contribute to KDE - I emailed Daniel as soon as I saw docs.kde.org, and I've already started working on it - it will be inspired by, but nicer than PHP's annotation system.

    Yes, it is off topic, and you also didn't provide nearly enough information.
    Try OpenProjects #kde-users

Downloadable?
by John Herdy on Tuesday 12/Mar/2002, @01:37
Thanks for this GREAT documentation site. I do have one question though: how can I download the documents instead of reading them online?

Regards,
John Herdy.

    Hi,
    there are two ways:
    wget -r docs.kde.org
    or point to
    http://www.linusetviviane.ch/docs.kde.org.tgz
    Where the second is the first gzipped...

      wget ?? What's that? Anyhow, the website didn't work. Any other ideas?
      No I don't use Linux. My rinky dink system can't handle the conversion from Windoze 98 (let alone the conversion from 98 to 2K, XP, ME, etc) but I do want to read the documentation ahead of time to get a feel for how to use K. TIA.

This is great
by Mario on Tuesday 12/Mar/2002, @04:48
By browsing the documentation site I found out about a couple of apps that I dint knew...
so you could say that docs.kde.org can be used as a advertising...

KDevelop
by Anonymous on Tuesday 12/Mar/2002, @05:47
The KDevelop manual is missing both in 2.2.2 and HEAD.

    The KDevelop documentation is not yet written in DocBook, so it's not part
    of the automatic build process on docs.kde.org (and it won't be until it's Docbook).

documentation in pdf or postscript
by Andreas on Saturday 16/Mar/2002, @02:55
Hi,
It would be very nice, when you provide also a download in pdf- or postscript-format, if this is possible.
thank you,
bye
Andreas
