I am revising and updating the Trinity documentation. In tdebase/khelpcenter/plugins/ is a desktop file named userguide.desktop.
That file is used to create the table of contents in the Help Center.
Although minor, the file is inconsistent with terminology used everywhere else in TDE.
AS IS:
Name=KDE Users' Manual
CHANGE TO:
Name=TDE User Guide
Changing KDE to TDE is straightforward as well as changing the English text. The challenge is updating all of the other languages to "TDE User Guide."
If somebody wants to help with the documentation and is familiar with using various language translation tools, would you please consider updating this file?
I would be much grateful for the help. Thank you!

I know that there were some changes in this filed with the
introduction of TQt with already translated Q* objects to QT*. But I
have I noticed on my system another thing having both qt3.3.8d and
qt4.8.0 installed and I don't know if there are movements to resolve
this.
Qt provides set of tools that enable creation of qt-based
applications. Those are: assistant, designer, linguist , lrelease,
lupdate, moc, qmake, qtconfig, uic. Those are provided both by qt4 and
our qt3.
If I have both of the qt versions installed and I try to run one of
those applications, only the qt4 versions are launched, and I am
unable to launch qt3 ones unless i specify full path to them as
command.
That may be because I installed qt4 as second, and if I were to
install it first and then qt3 then I'd be able to start only those
provided by qt3.
If I run those commands through whereis I get:
assistant: /usr/bin/assistant /opt/qt/bin/assistant
designer: /usr/bin/designer /opt/qt/bin/designer
linguist: /usr/bin/linguist /opt/qt/bin/linguist
lrelease: /usr/bin/lrelease /opt/qt/bin/lrelease
lupdate: /usr/bin/lupdate /opt/qt/bin/lupdate
moc: /usr/bin/moc /opt/qt/bin/moc
qmake: /usr/bin/qmake /opt/qt/bin/qmake
qtconfig: /usr/bin/qtconfig /opt/qt/bin/qtconfig
Obviously, if I invoke assistant, the first path is executed.
As a temporary solution for my packages I create links to the qt3
tools in $prefix/bin/ and name them in the Qt3* scheme. Anyway I think
those should be renamed in the TQt3 to avoid collisions with Qt4 ones.
Would one of you artists lend a hand in updating a PNG image file:
tdelibs/doc/common/kde_logo.png
We need to retain the same attributes (size, depth, etc.) but update the image to reflect Trinity.
This image is used primarily in the web version of the help files, but is used in a few other places.
When finished, please submit the updated image to bug report 694.
Thanks!
Darrell

As I revise and update the Trinity documentation, I will confront questions I can't answer, or should not answer on my own without team opinions.
The documentation often refers to the K-Menu.
The Trinity artwork contains a "T" button icon rather than a K. Should we refer to this button as the T-Menu?
I lean toward updating all documentation to reference the T-Menu despite some of the underlying app and library names. For example, kmenueditor. Many TDE apps still use the "k" prefix and so this would not be any different. Yet I think T-Menu is more consistent with "Trinity Desktop Environment."
Objections?
Darrell
