Well, there's no DocBook-aware Wiki yet, but then, ZWiki uses mostly StructuredText. The ZopeBook is written in StructuredText, too (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=21038), and they have a script that renders that StructuredText into DocBook (cf. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/zope-book/Book/StructuredText/). At least it should be possible to export the Wiki's pages in DocBook format. OTOH, it's questionable if that would make up a pleasant document to read ;-) > I've added there a pointer to the experiment I made in Bordeaux at the > beginning of the month, which is the result of long talks between me and > Moshe Zadka.

To be honest, I got the idea to set up a Wiki while reading your python-policy-experiments draft. I noticed that there are a few things in that are quite controverse I guess, and a Wiki might be a better place than a mailing list to collect feedback about the single issues. > How are we going to work ?

Hmm, if you have a little bit time to spend, then perhaps have a look at the stuff mentioned above. With a little bit work, it might be possible to augment ZWiki with an DocBook export button (or even a PDF rendering FWIW). Then yes, please feel free to put the stuff into the Wiki. I have no idea if the Wiki will work for us, but it's worth a try I guess. Gregor
