For those who are interested, we have some etherpads where we track 
R14 progress:

For the past few weeks I have been more than knee deep in the help 
handbooks. The amount of remaining work is overwhelming. In short, 
the handbooks are a mess. Many were written in the KDE 3.1 and 3.2 
days and haven't been updated since. They are outdated and often 
incorrect.

For triage, and for R14, we should collectively review the top 
level handbooks:

Welcome to TDE (updated, needs proofreading and corrections)

A Visual Guide to TDE (updated, needs proofreading and corrections)

Quickstart Guide (updated, needs proofreading and corrections)

TDE User Guide (review started, needs a lot of additional work and 
new screenshots)

TDE Frequently Asked Questions (updated, needs proofreading and 
corrections)

Remember that i18n reviews would be nice after we finally approve 
those documents.

R14 will survive without any work on the handbooks. Yet the quality 
of the top level handbooks speak volumes about the project.

All help is much appreciated. Feel free to send me markups in 
nothing but a text file.
