Great! It's good to have you on board!

AFAIK, no-one's working on the kcontrol section, so you can go ahead with 
that. The best way to start would be to choose a small-ish section that you 
like the look of, and write a basic description (in plain text format) for 
it. You can send your work here to kde-doc-english at kde.org, we can take a 
look at it, suggest additions and improvements if necessary, and then commit 
it to KDE CVS. This procedure works well for new contributors - if you decide 
to continue with documentation writing, we can consider getting you a CVS 
account.

The doc primer is a work-in-progress (although progress has been stalled 
recently), so if you have notice anything that's missing from it, please do 
point it out here on the list.

If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Once again, 
welcome to the team!

Regards,
Philip
