I kinda vote for this, and to request to be added to
http://kde.org/applications/multimedia/

I think installed help provides polish and mitigates frustration when
someone is struggling and looks to there for some guidance. Also, this
route helps to become a stronger member of the KDE family, and
hopefully gain more contributors to translations and documentation.

What is meant by sub-pages again? What I see here to me looks like sub-pages:

On the other hand, this is most popular. Whatever the reason, it votes
for itself in a totally natural manner. Perhaps we can even consider
the vote already-taken or the developers out-voted if each manual
counts as 2 votes (due to gravity effect).
