Hello Gavin,

I'm a little bit concerned about the backward compatibility with docbook. I think it's almost "impossible" to revert it back to docbook.

If you export a space as html, the output looks very very nice, but the sidebar isn't working, because it uses ajax. It would be a lot simpler for me to take that html or xml output (this can be done with a soap client) and create a pdf from that.

What do you think?

Best regards,

Hi Andries,

The new wiki manual has already exceeded expectations, and looks and works well for our needs. Although some small, but possibly time-consuming, tweaks might be done, may I suggest we begin thinking about the next major step (wiki-to-docbook)?

For those not familiar with the wiki manual project:
======================================
Before we can switch to using the new wiki manual, we need to preserve existing abilities. We need the ability to create a PDF and HTML version of the wiki manual. We might attempt to use the wiki's export capabilities, but I'm concerned it might require a large effort to get the desired effects. We might also use the ZF itself to produce the PDF manual.

Instead, we could use an approach already known to work (docbook to PDF/HTML). If we can translate the wiki back to docbook, then we have a complete solution.

Cheers,
Gavin
