I apologize if I had made you feel that way. It was certainly not
my intention
to ignore or belittle any previous work done. Which is why I presented
proposals,
not specific and final plans or recommendations.

I am approaching this documentation thrust from two perspectives. On the one
hand, I'm not exactly an outsider and am familiar with the KDE community
and its
software. On the other hand, I have also been less active recently so I am
also
able to look at the documentation from the perspective of a new contributor.

I am sorry I wasn't available at the 2016 sprint for geographical and
personal reasons.
I only have access to the end result, not the process. End users of the
docs, that is,
external and internal developers, might not care about that but it could
help
future documentation writers better insight on which docs go to which wiki
and
their target audiences.

Where are the good old usability people or software engineers with their

I can't claim to be a usability expert or a seasons software engineer. If
there is
anyone in the community I can consult on such matters, I'd love to hear
from them
as well. There is probably no need for that since the decision has already
been made.
All that's left is really just to clarify that decision and update the docs
as needed.

Have you uploaded your proposal to the GSoC webapp? If so, what is your
nickname there? I hope that you've already been working with the Krita team
on your proposal.

A reminder that the deadline for uploading final proposals is the 9th, and
there are *no* late applications or uploads accepted by Google.
