1) A significant part of the "aktion" documentation
(roughly 1000 lines!) describes the C++ classes used
by the program - technical stuff like this should be
put into a separate plain text document.    

2) The helpcenter KDE FAQ docbook file is *huge*, most
i18n teams will never have enough time to translate
this completely (and keep track of the changes).

I know it's easier to maintain a single document, but
couldn't the application specific parts be removed
from here and/or replaced by links/references to online
pages? Only those questions should remain here that
are typically useful to a newbie KDE user.

Topics like:

a) How can I get Backspace to work correctly under KDE?
b) Does KDE have terminal emulators with transparent
background?
c) Why does KDE not use gtk, xforms, xlib, whatever?
...

should be discussed elsewhere - it's a pain in the
translator's a$$ to translate dozens of questions
like these.
