[kde-doc-english] Writing Documentation

Hi Daniel,

I notice that Brad has already mentioned a few places to get involved - if any 
of those appeal to you, drop us a note, and we'll help you get together what 
you need to get started (which isn't much, but might vary depending on what 
you're working on).

If you can't find anything that interests you in that list, there are still 
plenty of other ways to get involved. Just ask, and we can suggest some other 
things.

One thing that's important to mention is that you don't have to learn DocBook 
(which is the format we use for documentation). It's quite a steep learning 
curve, and sometimes new contributors have trouble with it, but the good news 
is that you don't have to worry about it - you can write in plain text and 
we'll do the rest.

If you have any other questions, or have trouble finding something to work on, 
don't hesitate to contact us, either here on the list, or if you're on IRC, 
on #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net (where I'm PhilRod, and you can find several 
other members of the docs team).

Regards,
Philip
