So what are your suggestions? I hear lots of don't do it, but few real 
answers. At present I cannot see how kubuntu-doc is benefiting from being in 
the Ubuntu repository. I am thinking that if it were to split out it will 
become more visable and stand a greater chance of people joining. At present, 
when people come and want to join they are bombarded with Ubuntu/Gnome and 
quickly retreat in the face of desktop wars. When new people come to the IRC 
channel or ask on the list what they can do, they are encouraged only to work 
on Ubuntu stuff.
