Yes I know, thanks for documenting the process earlier. Still I feel more comfortable with you doing it as it seems that you've done some wiki tweaks before that wouldn't occur to me. > 2.

The best would of course be to have the English handbook ready by the time beta is released (or shortly afterwards), but being realistic I don't think this is going to happen with current available documentation (wo)manpower (Myriam already has lots of things on her shoulders). > So, what should I do? > > 1.

One more question: AFAICS, the translators generate the localized index.docbook manually themselves from the translated docmessages, right? Should I ping them to dump their work-in-progress there before creating Amarok 2.8 tarballs (ETA: tonight in European time zone)?
