KDE Documentation Tasks

The following task list is broken down by experience as closely as possible. It is recommended that you get in touch with the team and coordinate with the other members so as not to create any problems or duplicate work. Currently the channel is quite slow and quiet.

If you choose to work on any of the following documents, please add your name, IRC name, and email address for communication purposes.

If you haven't yet subscribed to the KDE Documentation mailing list, please do so now at the mail manager and say hello. Maybe provide a little bit of information as well as your experience.

 == Beginner ==
-=== EBN ===
+=== Documentation Primer ===
-EBN, or the [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org Electronic Breakfast Network], is a utility that both developers and documentation writers use to make sure they have created perfection for KDE. For documentation, there is are 2 utilities which will make your work easier:
-# [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/sanitizer/?component=kde-4.x Documentation Sanitizer] - this utility within the EBN scours the trunk of the subversion repository checking the format of the documentation, discovering typos, grammar, markup, and more. This is a perfect utility for beginners looking to contribute as this tool pretty much tells you how to fix the issues.
-# [http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/sanitizer/just-in-time.php Just In Time] - this utility allows you to check your code/documentation and it will provide the same information that the sanitizer above produces. Use this before committing your patches or committing to subversion.
