Hi T.J -

One thing that has piqued my curiosity is how is the wiki converted to a 
docbook format?

I can't speak for all of the documentation on docs.sun.com, so you may 
be correct that some is done in Frame. I personally work with a version 
of docbook that Sun has taken and modified for it's purposes.

This is great. I would be happy to help you if you have questions about 
writing. We haven't developed a process for documentation, so I think 
you  could really contribute by being our first publication submission. 
Let me know what you think about this.
