What I see as needed to move the Kubuntu System forward is a much better documentation system --a wiki for Kubuntu -- like Wikipedia.
A place where anyone can post information under a hierarchy of menu items, and where experts can simply correct what is posted if it is a bit "off the mark."
This site was a great start to such an idea, but the idea never took off.
- users would offer changes, and they would be reviewed by someone, who in turn would edit your work. Changes would take a long time to get through, and before one version of Kubuntu docs was completed, the developers had abandoned it and gone to a new version.
- In addition, most Kubuntu users didn't use the site, but rather used the Ubuntu resources, and the developers and document writers also where not there improving the information.
- It was located on a university site somewhere in Europe, but did not have the support of the core developers.
Many would love to help in the documentation area of kubuntu, but the current system seems so tedious to me, and simply does not work. (one needs to learn to compile text documents so that they are included somewhere inside the installation of a new iso)
The current "Help" menu on my Kubuntu system provides me very little help and is so far out of date that it is useless to me. If instead it simply pointed to a web site that was kept up-to-date, the world might become full of sunshine.
