If you've made new screenshots, then send a tgz with the docbook and the 
images. If it's quite large, then upload it somewhere to save people having 
to download the whole thing. If there are no new screenshots, just attach the 
docbook file.

Once you're familiar with writing, you can apply for a cvs account (from 
Stephan Kulow coolo at kde.org , I think). Once you've done that, set CVSROOT 
to :pserver:yourusername at cvs.kde.org:/home/kde and 'cvs login'. To add your 
changes to CVS, use 'cvs commit file1 file2 ...' to add the changes you made 
in file1, file2 and so on. You'll be asked for a log file. Just describe the 
changes briefly, and exit, saving the file, and everything will be committed. 
Make sure to set EDITOR to your favourite editor, or you'll end up having to 
use vi (yuk! ;-).
If you have created any new files, use 'cvs add file1...' for the new files, 
then 'cvs commit'. If you modify several files at a time, commit them all 
with one command, and only one log file will be generated, which is more 
convenient for people receiving the kde-cvs mailing list.

Regards,
Philip
