I see a need to have buy in for the _contents_ of the UIG, but the format of 
the thing is really not an issue. So far everyone who has shown some concern 
about the UIG seems to agree that a docbook version is better managable and 
maintainable than the current version.

I don't think this is intended as a fork, but rather a replacement. If having 
two version for a few days is causing uncontrolled chaos and confusion we 
better remove the one on developer.kde.org quickly.
