Are you afraid ;)
Absolutely not - who's afraid of a couple of Frenchies? ;)

My answer :
Yes i write in docbook directly but it's horrible and i think the developer
are sadism to use docbook for tuto and manual.
Your fisrt patch, you can send here in inkscape-devel. We see after who see it
and who commit it.
Do you know make patch ?
You can send the patch in txt.
Doc book editor : i use kate or kwrite.
Are you unix user ? I'm on linux.
I use Gentoo - the real man's linux. (That's just a joke, no offence
intended :)
Do you mean, write in docbook, but send the text file of the docbook xml
to the list?
I don't know how to make a patch, but there's the nifty svn tutorial on
the website that I think I'll try once I get something ready. But feel
free to tell me a quick and easy way.
