Greetings Francis; I am familiar with you through your posts both here and on the old OOo lists as well. I welcome your offer to help with this. Hopefully with two of us able to be available for help and mentoring the community for documentation can grow. I have been looking a little closer at DocBook as well and I believe it could be a way to open up more avenues of distribution. AOO does output to DocBook format through the save as option so that part of the learning curve is eliminated for the volunteers. I believe there is also a Media Wiki extension for DocBook so that we can still output to the mwiki as well as to PDF and Epub and possibly others. Regards Keith <snip>
