Hi, Has this moved on at all? Thinking about it a bit more (off and on) I'm inclined to suggest that DocBook isn't the greatest format. If we stored the docs in markdown it would be easier for people to edit/contribute (they could view the docs and make changes in github without having to compile/install anything). I'm happy to put some cycles into converting whats there to a bunch of markdown. Rendering that in futon is pretty easy too.
I can see the benefits of DocBook for writing a book, but I'm not sure that its what's needed here - it seems like using a hammer to crack a nut.
