At this point, the leading candidate is simplified docbook - but I need to do some more docbook reading before I can say for sure. Because some of the subprojects want to generate printed docs, I think that puts us into XML land -- as if we weren't already. So xhtml is out. Stylebook is out because we're the only ones who use it. That leaves some form of docbook. > When I had to decide on one of these options a while ago, I chose xhtml > b/c it was familiar and I though that I could always transform it to > something else later, but it turns out that there might not be enough > info in the source to do that w/o hand tweaking the result. > > > > > Note: I am not a photoshop / image wizard, so the image bar at the top > > still looks ugly.

If you know any graphics type people that want to help, send them my way.
