Great I am glad you and Riddle finally did work on it. Although it was ready 
for build and packing long before that with the predeb.sh. 

Anyway, the reason for forking is to relocate the docs to a place where they 
will actually get more attention. At present I find that the Ubuntu work over 
shadows any efforts we make. There is little or no time to discuss kubuntu in 
meetings etc. Creating a separate SVN, mailing lists, bug tracking system and 
IRC channel would go a long way to helping improve the contributions people 
make on Kubuntu-doc.

When we first created Kubuntu docs we had several people wanting to write 
them. Other than your good self, everyone else seemed to fade away. I think 
the major focus and attention placed on Ubuntu could be one of the main 
causes for this distraction.
