And programming is just about throwing some words on the page, so that 
shouldn't be that hard either, right?

Writing is a professional skill one has to develop just as one has to develop 
programming skill. If people aren't capable of learning a programming 
language then I'm afraid they can't write software.

I agree that we cannot expect every new contributer to learn docbook, and we 
don't. There are a variety of ways to submit documentation - including an 
edit function planned for docs.kde.org. Have a talk to Rainer and Olaf about 
the edit function planned - it may be an acceptable compromise for you guys.

The edit function planned allows you to just click 'edit' on a webpage. Have a 
look at www-devel.kde.org for an example.
