First step is to subscribe to this list on
https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-doc-english

The status of the docbooks you find on
https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Documentation/KDE_(health_table)

On https://docs.kde.org/ you find the documentation in html and pdf format.

On https://l10n.kde.org/docs/ in the section Writing Documentation is  
more info about the kde documentation.

We use https://phabricator.kde.org/project/profile/91/ for reviews.

You need an account on https://identity.kde.org/

You should have uptodate Frameworks / Workspace / Application either build 
from sources or - much easier - use "Developer Edition Git-Unstable" from 
https://neon.kde.org/download in a virtual machine.

You also reach team members in the 
KDE Documentation Project Channel #kde-docs on irc.freenode.net

Usually the best way to start is to read what we have on docs.kde.org for 
applications you are familar with and see what is missing/wrong or could be 
improved.

Please announce here on the list if you start working with a docbook to avoid 
clashes.

My favourite editor is Kate with the XML plugin

Don't hesitate to ask quetsion here on list.

Welcome aboard
