These are the same ranges of responses I get when I ask myself about this problem! The gap in the MediaWiki to DocBook is large, but Christopher, it is good to see there is some ability to convert. I will take a look at your source and see if we can contribute :-) I'm guessing its GPL?!
And to Brian's point, I agree that there would be a "cutoff" date where MediaWiki wouldn't facilitate us anymore, wiki text is far less expressive for formal "publishing" on paper. Further, unfortunately, the world isn't ready for fully online documentation. Many cultures still hold onto the paper book concept as a master and a must have. With Wiki's, I've run into a few problems myself: - Having to be online / connected to read and edit (I'm used to working on specs on a plane and Wiki's make this difficult) - The ever-wonderful "how do I print this thing" problem (can be somewhat fixed by a deep linking formatter, but the problem is more difficult than this) - The "how do I send this to someone that doesn't have access to the Wiki" problem Thank you!
