[kde-doc-english] A few basics for new documentation

[Randall Wood]

Greetings - I'm looking for a few basics to get me started.  I've agreed to 
write up the documentation for Trojita (recently included in KDE) and thought 
in doing so, I'd learn enough about the KDE Docs team/packages/processes to be 
able to continue helping improve KDE documentation.  I'm a long-time KDE user 
and a published technical writer, so happy to help.

I'm off to a bad start.  I found my way to the userbase wiki and the developer 
wiki, and downloaded both the KDE Documentation Primer and KDE DocBook Authors 
Guide.  Both seem woefully out of date (8-10 years), referring to old KDE3 
processes and documents.

1. Just to get started:
I can probably get going if I can find the document template and lists of 
entities.  I'm on openSUSE, and general.entities was found at 
/opt/kde3/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/entities/  Is this correct, or 
is there something newer?  Where would I find the kdelibs directory, or is 
this a relic of the old KDE Documentation Primer?

2. If I'm barking up the wrong tree, is there some better 
tutorial/primer/instruction page for willing contributers who understand 
XML/Docbook and are willing to invest the time to contribute docs?  Otherwise, 
where should I go/who should I talk to in order to help with the bigger 
documentation picture?

Thanks in advance - Randy
