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: http://userbase.kde.org/KWord/1.5/Manual > = Drupal on kdenlive.org = > Easy to translate, forces identical structure for all languages. > Existing but outdated.

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). > As the 0.7.8 release is near, I'd like us to decide what we're going > to use, so we could do that together with the release, making the User > manual more public and hopefully gaining some editors.
