Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.3 OS: Linux A german KDE user pointed out that the userguide chapter about groupware and kontact has some personal opinions in it he found irritating. I think he's right. This is IMHO not appropriate for the KDE userguide. An example: "But that can cause initial setup troubles. For a newbie like me it means: a long long frustrating nightmare, and too much complexity to manage once working. So no, thanks, I'll go to simple <acronym>IMAP</acronym>." Furthermore the author sometimes uses the first person singular. There's also at least one distribution specific part: "# <userinput><command>apt-get</command> <command>install</command> cyrus21-imapd cyrus21-common cyrus21-admin cyrus21-client sasl-bin sasl2-bin</userinput> \n <computeroutput>Installing cyrus21-imapd...</computeroutput><lineannotation> The installer asks something I've not understood about an search address... I just pressed <keycap>Enter</keycap></lineannotation>." These instructions are useless and irritating for users of other distributions which do do not use Debian. I suggest to rework this chapter a bit.
ergh, you're right, the entire chapter reads more like a blog than KDE documentation :(
I recall proofreading this for Lauri, I assume she had a reason for including it.
It was included at the insistence of the author and the kontact developers, because once you get through the writing, the content is reasonably ok. I am not the author, other than I marked it up (and removed a fair bit of the personal opinion stuff already.) As with the rest of the documentation, feel entirely free to help fix it.
