That's why we have an amazing documentation team at kde-doc-english at kde.org

They will be happy writting/updating your documentation, you only need to tell 
them where and what needs work and you'll get a new and shiny docbook

I just got the Okular one updated by them and I didn't even answer for it :-)

I don't agree with that, users are good writting tips for eachother but not 
necessarily good at organizing the content in a coherent and sensible way.
