Right. So you are objecting to a patch which only adds a function in kdelibs and does \
not harm any existing applications at all. 

You did avoid commenting  on the bits about giving application maintainers a choice \
to do it another way than by using khelpcenter.

You also ignore the remark that I'm not talking about replacing the current policy \
about documentation. docbook it is for all applications in all main kde modules. 

I really find it sad that you are not allowing people who want to experiment with \
another kind of user documentation. I think we generally failed in providing user \
help. Both content and system are below avarage. This patch gives the oppertunity to \
try it a different way, by using a wiki and therefor making it editable by users \
itself. I can see that there are potential problems, but I do not consider them worse \
than what we have now.
