I agree that DocBook 4 isn't very user-friendly, but I'm not sure that
LyX is the right solution.

Markdown is very simple to use for beginners and can be converted into
various formats using pandoc:

I would be far more likely to contribute to TLDP documentation if I
could get stuck in writing things instead of having to work out how
DocBook and a complex build system go together.
