I wouldn't know how (seriously!) I guess git clone + "learn some subset
of docbook" is a start. But there again... that's a higher barrier than
I'd like to have. How about if I propose a patch to the text, and
someone (you?) does the docbook stuff?

You'll notice that Lennart's only does Fedora too for the devtools bit.
We need others to help fill gaps.

I'm perfectly happy to point people to the wiki as a way to draft docs,
and then have them migrate to dev.gnome.org, but being able to easily
update docs & get first contributions in the wiki is a powerful feature.
Not everyone has a commit bit to GNOME GIT :)

Cheers,
Dave.
