Since all teams have the same needs, maybe we should provide a framework for
all of that on KDE's Web server itself, in www/documentation directory.

But let's do that later, we still have more urgent needs than our

- Update a lot of doc translations
- Have more languages for documentation
- Have better english original docs
- Move to docbook
- etc :-(
