My best proposal is to work on the docs in HEAD, bring them up to date with 
the release if and when there are some free hands to do so, and direct people 
to the updated versions on docs.kde.org.   You're not planning another 
KOffice release for some time are you? Not having to compile a CVS version 
and deal with the instability this implies would greatly improve my chances 
of finding people willing to work on these docs.

However, not all languages are available on docs.kde.org (yet..., perhaps we 
could talk to Daniel about bringing in the other languages, I know Erik 
Pedersen would dearly like to see Danish available there.)

Another possibility is to branch the docs ,and do a separate "KOffice Docs" 
tarball at some future date.  

This is really down to me, I'm really sorry about the state of the KOffice 
docs this time around, but with nearly all the existing KOffice doc 
maintainers leaving, I just didn't get all the rewrites done by myself (and 
there was a schedule miscommunication, I was under the impression that the 
freeze began some time before it apparently actually did.)
