Don't you think that this is going about it backwards -- asking the
person that needs help to provide it? We need people that already have
the expertise to either write tutorials or to collaborate with a
'ghostwriter' to do it.
Someone asked on KDE-Devel for help with KAuth and a developer suggested
to him:

It just doesn't make sense. Are users are supposed to ferret out the
information and write the documentation when the developers have this
information and appear to be keeping it secret? Perhaps his blog has
some useful information, but the KDE Bugzilla is not a place to provide
assistance or to look for documentation.
