Subject: [docbook-apps] DocBook for Evergreen
Just a quick note of thanks to the DocBook community for all the
assistance over the past six months. At our first-ever user conference
about 20 of us had a three-hour documentation session that concluded
with establishing the Evergreen DIGgers (documentation implementation
group) and in order, committing to single-source, standards-based
documentation, and then to DocBook. (Being librarians, the order of
precedence was important...) We also committed to meeting every two
weeks for, well, forever and we have a more elaborate series of plans
for establishing style guide (for markup, of course :> ), toolkits,
heavily-annotated templates, etc. The group understood that this wasn't
a trivial commitment but also understood that DocBook is, in a way,
inevitable and a right fit. The groundwork had been laid in advance, but
this meeting was the clincher.
This is our five-minute lightning talk we did today -- for those
who are interested, I will also provide a link to the (much, much
longer) slideset from Wednesday.

I am indebted to the docbook-apps community for my ability to
oh-so-casually perform a live XSL transform (with a little shout-out to
the oXygen folks too).
Thanks again,
