Hi all,

Though not feeling a team member of any of the teams at present (due to 
lack of time) I just want to give my "+1" for an effort trying to find a 
good/better solution for producing reusable documentation.

My own (theoretical) thought is: In an ideal world, there should exist a 
hierachical framework with a "content master" from which any of the 
derivates (brands, flavours, translations etc.) can be produced by a 
given set of rules.

But I'm not an expert on how to best implement such a solution (maybe 
DocBook or even better DITA? What about Drupal? Wiki?). 

As most documentation products use a different licensing model, the 
Documentation Project can develop rather independantly from the 
different software products. And yes, in my eyes, it should go it's own 
way if possible, as I personally do not see much advantage in 
fragmentation here. In contrary, setting up such a hierarchical document 
framework could be a rather challenging task on its own :-)
