Hi Knut, Please note my recommendation both in the documentation guide as well as on this mailing list NOT to use XML Mind. There were a number of problems that I encountered when trying to collaborate with the Viet Nam team with this program. XML Mind seems to insert a number of elements silently as well as "pretty printing" the XML behind the scenes , inserting a lot of line breaks, which are really uncessary for DocBook. Some DocBook renderers will respect these line breaks, which makes document production more tricky.
I agree that it is easy to use. I prefer it when compared to Serna as it is certainly more intuitive. However given the issues that I experienced when working on the Excel report document from Viet Nam, I felt that it was not an appropriate tool to use when multiple people may be collaborating on a document with different DocBook editors.
