Currently we've got the following templates in gnome-user-docs:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/gnome-user-docs

gnome-user-docs-accessibility-guide
gnome-user-docs-user-guide

I can disable them if they are no longer current, that's not a problem.
However, in order to enable the new 'gnome-help' and 'user guide' ones,
their POT templates need to be generated during the source package
build, which does not seem to be the case.

Could someone from the docs team investigate this?

Could the Kubuntu docs guys comment on Andrej's questions? I had also
thought that their docs were stable, and was surprised about the
post-translation-deadline changes.

Thanks.

Regards,
David.
