Guys, the last thing I want to do is get in a pissing contest over
document
generation.  My points are two-fold:

1) Any documentation generation change MUST be voted on ESPECIALLY when
it
   alters the source code (xdocs).

2) Since Cocoon (one of my favorite technologies) isn't solving our
needs
   elegantly, I am open to try something new.

However my personal feelings are this:

* If it forces us to change our source code then -1.  I don't care what
the
  technology is, we had agreed a while ago to standardize on DocBook.
Anything
  that is more presentation oriented than semantic oriented, I have to
veto.

* Change the stylesheet not the source.  There is a fundamental flaw in
thinking,
  "Hmm, XYZ tool is so much faster, let me change my source code into a
mindnumbing
  form of HTML so that I am roped into one way of representing my site
and never
  allowing it to be changed."  I am seriously against this.

SO, if we use Anakia, change the templates to work with our source
instead of
change the source to work with anakia.
