    KDE users - Do you use KDE help? Why not?

    I really would like to see improvements made to KDE's help system (khelpcenter). I have gone through the kde-runtime change log and could not ever find a change that has been made to it. Personally, I think khelpcenter is archaic, and I would like to see it completely revamped. The way it is now, I never use it.
    ------------------------------

    FOR KDE USERS:
    One of the reasons why I posted this comment is because I created a poll on the KDE forum. If you are like me, you spend more time on the Ubuntu forum then at the KDE forum. So I created a link to the poll so that I get as many opinions as possible. Here's the link: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=82794 There's also further discussion of this topic at that link.

    Take a second to vote. And while you're there if you have an idea, feel free to add your comments.

    I usually don't use khelpcentre . I feels it bloated. Please explain your idea. What changes would you like to see in the khelpcenter

    I've never used it-because I've almost never actually needed to...and when I do, it is for an app with no khelp documentation.

    Never used it. Hasn't really been anything I need help for. In that case, I usually use google out of habit.

    Bloated? Really? I can't for the life of me figure out how what essentially is just documentation could be "bloated". I wish people would stop using that word in place of "I don't like it".
    Code:
    while true; do echo -n "RiceMonster "; done

    Actually didn't know that it existed...I'll check it out. As of now, though, no, I haven't used it.

    EDIT: Oh, the documentation. No, I don't use it often. Used it all the time when I was on Gnome though.

    Re: KDE users - Do you use KDE help? Why not?

    are we talking about F1, if so then i only use it when an app isn't clear enough about what happens when i press something (usually games).
    It seams pretty standard, its just htmlified man pages, how do you propose improving it?
