Has anybody on this list had any experience with the DocBookWiki application at:

It claims to support web-based editing of docbook documents. Sounds good, but
how does it work in practice?
There seems to be a pull towards wiki's for creating technical documentation.
See an example here:
http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/casestudies/gigaspaces.jsp
Gigaspaces has created their documentation using the confluence wiki and an
MS-Word exporter. Actually, the result (downloadable from their site after free
registration) doesn't look too bad.
So I'm wondering whether DocBookWiki could give us the best of both worlds:
Docbook structure and the easy accessibility of a wiki.
Anybody care to comment?
Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry has been a good magnet for discussion of this
topic. (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/59)
The comments to the entry seem to break down like this:
- Lots of "these are the features I'd like" comments
- Lots of suggestions about systems that do part of the job
- Lots of lamenting the absence of a working implementation
- Lots of thinking that "this shouldn't be so hard to do"
(My reaction: Uh huh. It's always easy when someone else does the work)
