Not everyone has free gigabytes :-(.

Messages and documentation are very different in essence on that
respect. I don't think we will start documenting KDE 2.0.1 applications
when they will be developped, I think it's better if we concentrate on
finishing writing KDE 2.0 documentation and translating it. Mike, do you
agree? If you agree, it means that the editorial team should stop
installing the latest snaphot and should work only with a bare bones KDE
2.0.

Is there an opportunity to work only on one branch for documentation and
have the changes automatically applied to the pther branch at a certain
point of time?

If we work just the usual way (without -A or two directories), where
will our changes be applied? To the HEAD branch and therefore to KDE
2.0.1, if I understand well? This is exactly the contrary of what we
need, if I'm right when I say that we finish the KDE 2.0 doc first.
