Would be sweet .Especially for the lazier people out there who either a) get tired of looking through b.k.o after 5 minutes or b) just don't bother at all because of a.

I think it would also be good to create some sort of general template e-mail for first time "I'd like to join the docs team/document X application" mails to the mailing list with a list of website resources on how to write clear docs, KDE guidelines, docbook primer and the standard "you don't have to know docbook..." responses and so on.
