Has anyone developed a half-day workshop or one-or-two-hour webinar on
Docbook?
I work with a software project that is considering a proposal to adopt
Docbook for its documentation needs. It has been suggested that a
workshop might help build buy-in and bring more people into the
native-XML-production fold (versus producing documentation on the wiki
or in Word, the two formats now used for our project). Some of the
topics considered for this workshop/webinar include demonstrating the
use of core elements in a model chapter, using communications devices
such as tips and callouts, and possibly even advanced topics such as
interacting with subversion, automating the transformation to multiple
formats, etc.
The goals would be that participants would walk away from the workshop
more familiar and comfortable with Docbook, and with a nice sample
template in hand for those interested in making contributions.
I've recently joined the DITA mailing list.
The number of DITA workshops seems quite significant.
We have the expertise on this list.
1. Has it been done at all?
I know ndw has done 'overviews' and such like, but I don't recall
any Docbook workshops, Eu or US.
2. Has anyone presented such a workshop *and* prepared to donate
the material to Docbook?
Karens goal seems quite modest.

Not sure what that last part means Karen?
