Thanks for the offer of help! The first thing to do would be to take a look at the outline for the user guide which is at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~chri1802/kde/userguide-tng/ .

If there's a section in that outline that you'd like to write, or extend somehow, drop us a line at 
kde-doc-english at kde.org to say that you'd like to work on it (to make sure we don't have more than one person working on the same thing). If no particular section catches your eye, but there's something else you'd like to write about, feel free to suggest it (to kde-doc-english).

Not knowing DocBook is no problem at all: you can write in plain text, and submit your work to kde-doc-english, where someone will pick it up, add the necessary markup, and add it to the user guide.

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

Regards,
Philip Rodrigues
