You can import it to a scratch repo and then create a = bug to move it to playground http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual#Personal_scratch_reposito= ries For that you'll need to have a kde contributor account = http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Get_a_Contributor_Account Albert > Moreover, the project already has a handbook and a > Spanish translation, which I suppose should be imported in other > directories, and I don't want to mess up anything.
