Hi Richard, Have you or any other asked from other organizations to vouch for DocBook? Further, can I know your plan to update the application page? Some mandatory questions by Google [1] are not yet included in the application page. So, I was wondering whether you are keeping a draft of the application page in your local machine to get it to a certain standard before releasing!
