Alan, thanks for the pointer. Although the thread is a bit older it's an interesting discussion and still a hot topic in many places.
I think you're right in your comment in pointing out that docbook may not be the only choice as output format, ODT may be as appropriate. It will depend on the level of structure that one intends to implement. Docbook is *much* tighter structured than ODT but then again, I don't vote for structure for the sake of structure. The comments show that there are numerous possible approaches to the problem and there are many tools available in different levels of maturity none of which probably *exactly* solves your problem. For doc.oo.o we will be using the mediawiki technology and should see that as our starting point so we won't be looking at solutions outside of that. And ultimately, I am not sure if we need to look at docbook, as you correctly pointed out, but rather look for a solution that allows us to use the wiki as collaboration framework for all content and convert to formats that allow offline publishing (hardcopy or PDF or ODF or whatever) for some of the content. It'll be an interesting problem to solve. Frank Alan wrote:
