the new xml.apache.org frontpage should not be too dependent on a
manually authored XML document, but be the aggregation of a lot of
information snippets from all the various projects. In any case, the
frontpage will be special, i.e. perhaps we would need to create a
separate DTD for it, too.

You're absolutely right, we should be careful not to create *too* many
different DTD's. Furthermore, a Cocoon pipeline has no access to the DTD
declaration so it can't modify processing flow depending of the doctype
of a document.

We could do a simple document consisting of a table, of course. Having a
specific DTD however ensures we have a common information structure
across all XML Apache sub-projects, which is part of the Forrest vision.
In terms of a DTD, I would go for something in the lines of:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ENTITY % document PUBLIC
"-//APACHE//ENTITIES Documentation V1.1//EN"
"document-v11.mod">
%document;
<!ELEMENT contributors (header?, (category)+)>
<!ATTLIST contributors %common.att;
%title.att;>
<!ELEMENT category (contributor+) >
<!ATTLIST category %title.att; %common.att;>
<!ELEMENT contributor (person, img?, bio)>
<!ATTLIST contributor %common.att;>
<!ELEMENT bio (%blocks;)*>
<!ATTLIST bio %common.att;>
validating documents similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE contributors
PUBLIC "-//APACHE//DTD Project Contributors V1.0" "contrib-v10.dtd">
<contributors title="Contributors">
