For those that are new to to writing docbook xml feel free to send anything
over to me that you have written in a txt file or in email aqnd I can put it
the documentation.  To start learning docbook you can check out the
kubuntu-docs branch (bzr branch lp:kubuntu-docs) and take a look at exactly
what is going on there.  It isn't very hard to learn once you start reading
it and making changes.
Also feel free to drop me a line on #kubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-docs as jjesse
