The translators won't be able to start again translating because kde-i18n hasn't been converted yet, but they can already have a look, and start downloading and testing the docbook tools in updated package kdesdk. The authors of documentation in kdebase and kdeadmin can start modifying the docbook files if they like to, but it would be wise to wait for some manual cleanup. This manual cleanup will be a huge job for several people, because the automatic conversion produces a result that is far from being intelligent DocBook. The conversion logs are temporarily stored in the CVS tree to help this cleaning process. All the converted files have been tested to convert to HTML with success. However, the result may not look as good as the previous one : we will need to tune the KDE stylesheets, and the manual cleanup will help a lot. Please note that the HTML files have now disappeared from the CVS tree. They will be rebuilt at packaging time. If you regenerate them on your hard disk, please do not commit them (hmmm... .cvsignore files should be updated). The KDE logo, logotp3.png, will now be accessed through a symbolic link to a directory that will be shared among docs. This symbolic link will be built at installation time. This shared directory will hold the GPL licence as well. The makefiles haven't been adapted yet to the new organization. The other packages (kdegames, kdeutils, ...) will be converted in the next days and are STILL FREEZED. Any change you would do to the LinuxDoc file would be lost. Thanks a lot for your comprehension.
