Great, welcome! I think the "community" Kubuntu documents are placed
help.ubuntu.com/community too, though it's not linked anywhere from the
Kubuntu site that I can see. You're possibly better contributing
tutorials like that to upstream KDE developers though.

help.ubuntu.com is a HTML version of the documents shipped in
khelpcentre. help.ubuntu.com/community is a documentation wiki,
wiki.ubuntu.com is a developer wiki.

I think https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TakingScreenshots may help. It's a good
idea to use the default theme. Screenshots shouldn't be too big, because
the user may confuse it for the actual program.

The wiki covers everything from software installed by default, to
instructions for software not included in Ubuntu.

Sorry I haven't helped more, but I'm sure one of the KDE guys will
respond soon.

Thanks,

Dean
