MessageHi Dick,

Thanks. I'll try it out with my website over the next few weeks. It would be 
good if it were an official release.

  John,

  Back in about 2008, Dave Pawson and I did some work on the website and 
created a 3.0 version based on DocBook 5.0. The good news is that it works, and 
Dave did some nice documentation that you can find here along with the schema 
itself:

  http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/website/v5/

  The bad news is that it hasn't been taken back into the official sourceforge 
repository. That is mostly because Dave and I ran out of cycles, and other 
commitments intervened.

  What we completed does work; I created a web site using it 
(http://rlhamilton.net), and Dave may have also used it for a website.

  Your bringing this up reminds me that we really need to take the steps 
required to get this into the standard distribution. That process may change 
some of what we did, but I hope not by much.

  If you try it out, I'd be interested in hearing how it works for you.

  Best Regards,
  Dick Hamilton

    Subject: [docbook] Status of Website DTD


    Just wondering what the status of the Docbook Website DTD is. It hasn't 
been updated for some time (I think since 2.6.0 in 2005). Are there any plans 
to do so?

    Cheers

    John
