Is it just me or does anyone else find the lack of help files and documentation of the KDE DE and software severely lacking?

I've been reloading and configuring a new system, and it seems like every time I click on help, I get a "Documentation Not Found" page. Click on the question mark on the title bar and find no places with help bubbles.

When I do find documentation in the KDE Help Centre or on-line it is years out of date.

My other pet peeve is a looking for help for a button that says "Do Something" and the help files tells you "Push this button to do something". If I knew what "Do Something" did I wouldn't be looking at the help page would I?

Perhaps we should make missing, incomplete, and outdated help files and documentation a release critical bug.

What do you think?

Thanks for letting me rant. I will crawl back under my rock now.

Darrell
