Recruit more people. There's only so much documentation Phil and I can manage
on our own, and you're seeing the result.
Report them as bugs, we *are* going through the bugs and fixing things, and
yes, translators make great bug reporters. An actual list of 'things that
need fixing' saves a lot of time.
There's a pre KDE 3.2 list at http://people.fruitsalad.org/lauri/docs/ - much
of what's on there, Phil has now filed as bugs, and we intend to use Bugzilla
in future to help with tracking what needs doing.

Best of luck making that happen. All they have to do is put a GUI: in their
cvs commit logs, and I will get a separate copy of the mail to forward to the
(largely nonexistent) document maintainers.

What there is of a team, is on the kde-doc-english@ mailing list, not this
one. Bug reports also show up there. Phil and I went through literally a
couple of hundred documents each pre KDE 3.2, and cleaned up a whole lot of
things, and this is an ongoing process.
Right now, bugzilla reports are the best thing you can do currently. It's
helpful if you file bugs on a per doc basis (makes it easier to keep track of
as we work on fixing them.)
