It was definitely a manual conversion. If I were doing it again, I'd look in to converting from MediaWiki to AsciiDoc, which can support DocBook as well. http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ Doing an update of the DocBook wouldn't be too difficult, just time consuming. It would involve doing a history check of the wiki, see the diff in content between the current and when the DocBook snapshot was taken, and manually changing content in the XML. The toolchain can be straight DocBook or the fancier Publican toolchain that Fedora Project et al use. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41
