Start here:
Gnome Documentation project
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/
The web page says (although i cannot find exactly where it says it) that
they if you can provide documentation as plain text or html they will make
it into DocBook.
There are sample templates available, if you are able to handwrite html
docbook does not require too much learning
the official docbook standard is here
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook/
but it is probably more information than you really need
Sincerely
Alan Horkan
