I'm one of the few people who like XML. Probably it's because I don't have to care for the design and just need to create content. It's also the reason why I like LaTeX and docbook (well, the processing-tools are not that well developed for docbook yet…). > Is there not a good tutorial for learning our webpage XML > syntax?

There are for sure some difficulties with our DTD, especially for our project-pages. Adding a news-entry at top or putting the elements in a fixed order. > Do you have any idea how to actually go about extending > GuideXML (or the other XML's we provide) Have > you ever tried? I work with GuideXML for more than four years now. I know the XSLT-process behind, and I know our DTD. In the past I did some small extensions, but currently it's very good developed and from my point of view it is usable. > Could we improve training with regards to any of this? See the server-messages when you commit an XML-file. There are two guys named who will help when there is an error in the file during commit ;-) But back to the question you started your message with: The outdated project-pages. My opinion is, that GuideXML is not the blocker for updating them. It's more a menpower issue. Most developers have more fun in keeping their project in a good state than providing information about the project on a website. Furthermore there are many non-native speakers in the projects who don't want to write websites in a broken language. One person per project who watch the project and collect the FAQs with answers might solve the problem.
