We don't use DocBook or XML in PSPP (or in most GNU software).
We do use Texinfo. It's not hard to learn, but it's not what
you're asking about.

Well, one contribution we could use is a "getting started"
guide. Are you interested in writing that sort of thing?
There is just a little more detail on this in one of the PSPP bug
reports:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=11537
I don't know whether this would be best as part of the PSPP
manual or as a separate document.
We could also use some quality proofreading of the existing PSPP
manual.
