Problem is, ATM I don't think anyone has a sizeable chunk of up-to-date consistent content to contribute. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

If someone could come up with that (in any structured format - we do conversions don't we?), I'd be all for starting to use Daisy to create "editorial" (as opposed to generated) docs, and would volunteer to help administer it if needed. But until this sizeable chunk exists, setting up new tools might be a waste of time.

Very valid point. Two thoughts:

* move the exiting xdoc-based documentation into Daisy, so that folks have something to start working from (requires a huge leap of faith, I know)
* loose ties and integration: let's not try to design an all-encompassing process/system for generated, editorial, contributed, imagined and whatever kind of other information/documentation - we have the luxury of working with the web which makes integration of disparate processes and tools a matter of wget/mod_rewrite/mod_proxy and whatelse. As long as all tools produce wget-able, visually-united webpages, we can generate something which is up for automated static publication.
