I could see it all being contained on a branch or even in a separate repo path 
if we did that (setting up an svn:external on the main repo), but I agree.  
It’s probably a good first step if changes are simply staged as patches to a 
checkout so they could be cherry picked.

Confluence has massive potential:

Import: 
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.jboss.labs.confluence.plugin.docbook_import
Export: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-docbook

Of course that would replace Mediawiki, which is not ideal.  However, if it 
gave lossless round-trip doc editing, I think it would be worth it.  Of course 
a few mediawiki possibilities too:

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Tools/Wiki_conversions/DocBook_to_Wiki
http://maven.apache.org/doxia/doxia-tools/doxia-converter/index.html
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T63047
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language

And someone could propose writing a new/better/complete docbook import/export 
plugin.

Cheers!
Sean
