This is not about whatever wiki system will be choosen, this is about giving \
application maintainers the choice to do their documentation in an other way than via \
khelpcenter. It can point to a drupal website, it can point to a forum, it can point \
to a wiki.

There are even more intranets out there that have internet access. These statement \
are irrelevant to the patch though. The maintainer can judge if it makes sense to \
have to have the documentation on an internet site or in khelpcenter.

> At this time I would also have to object to the patch.

Can you please provide me the arguments for that? What on earth is wrong with a patch \
that extends the functionality of kdelibs, which is used by more application than \
those that live in the main kde modules. What is in essence the difference with the \
already made exception for reporting bugs in a different way than bko? We have code \
for that too in the same files iirc.
