Hello,

My friend and I have got about as far as we can making the kinds of guides we 
wanted to make, largely because we don't seem to know enough about KDE to do 
more!

The URL is:
http://www.newtolinux.org.uk/wiki/index.php/KDE is so cool because...
It's a silly broken URL, I know, but it's not meant to be 'public' yet so that 
doesn't matter too much.

Basically, we'd appreciate any general comments, and also any suggestions or 
contributions along the same lines.

We're also unsure whether or not to keep it on a wiki, or to transfer it to 
'closed' html, since we don't want the guides to become bloated with 
everyone's favourite little tips. What do people think?

Regards,
Tom (& Rob Scott)
