there is of course a good
(cough) http://www.daisycms.org/ (cough)
way to combine both ideas :-)
you might want to checkout the book-publishing features
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-2_1/books/225-cd.html
(based on that a custom publication type to produce docbook should be
quite easy)
(By the way: there are loads of other features that make Daisy a far
better colaborative editorial environment then svn/docbook.)
if nothing else it would surely lower the barrier to entry for people
willing to contribute to docs (which is another profile then people
contributing to code)
lemme know if I can help decide by answering specific questions and/or
lending a hand...

We will try
to launch a Developer Guide effort ASAP. I want to build it with DocBook,
one XML document per chapter, all versionned in SVN and automatically
published on the Restlet.org web site. That will allow contributions via SVN
patches and publication to various output formats.
What do you think of using a wiki (maybe not "The Wiki", wiki.restlet.org)
but, anyway, elect some space for lightweight early collaboration on
documentation in-progress ... with discussion etc, and open to just about
anyone who wants to play. Then, completed work can get put into DocBook
and committed to svn by a committer.
