Well in fact you don't *have* to use kate and/or docbook at all. We'll be 
quite happy with plain text files submitted to us and then we can go out and 
do the markup. Of course we'd like it if you tried :-D
You're choice of editor isn't limited to what KDE provides either, you can use 
whatever you wish and there are people here who are quite active that use 
emacs, some probably use vi, I myself use quanta so what you use is totally 
up to you. 
As for direction, the general speech i received when i asked included
1. Files should be saved in utf-8.
2. Screenshots should be of default KDE install.
3. Have fun :-)
Ok I don't actually remember being told to have fun, but it helps with those 
really long docs... like the one in kdepim :-)

Before starting work on a doc try coordinating with the list or #kde-docs or 
even #kde-pim in your case to make sure that you're not duplicating any 
effort. The fact that you've mailed the list means you're probably on top of 
that already ;-)
