Great! I'm sure Sebastian can tell you what's needed in terms of content, and 
we (the documentation team) can help with any technical details, style, etc.

No problem - if you send your changes in plain text to this list, we have 
people who can add the necessary docbook and merge it into the existing docs.

Excellent, I'm sure they'll welcome the help.

I don't have k3b installed here to check the details, but the existing doc 
looks fairly detailed. A good way to start would be to work out what needs to 
be done - if you know already, that's great, otherwise, just look through the 
doc and compare it to the app, and ask Sebastian if he knows of any 
particular things that need doing. Then, if you're happy with your plan for 
what to do, you can start writing. It's probably easiest if you send each 
small section to this list when you've completed it, then we can add the 
docbook and put it into SVN. That way, we can make sure you're on the right 
track, and you can do the work in bitesize chunks.

For some other resources, take a look at the first few sections of the doc 
primer:

you can also find us on IRC in #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net , and of course 
this list.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Philip
