That's sounds like a cool idea. The SVN book is based on DocBook Lite template created by O'Reilly. It's supposed to be much less verbose and easier to learn than the entire DocBook set. >From one of their readme files: "Originally, we used the full DocBook application maintained by the OASIS SGML/XML standards group, but have since refined it to a small subset with its own DTD. It has a few additions for some types of books, but mostly the markup should be compatible with the full DocBook." See this URL for the full html introduction to DocBook Lite. http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/1.1.x/doc/book/tools/readme-dblite.html The book it really professional, and I think that a Hackystat manual like that would be great! Hope that helps, Tim P.S. Is there another way to download Hackystat besided the 116 MB zip? I'd really just like to get a (smaller) binary WAR and drop it in Tomcat, or a standalone Tomcat bundle that just looks like its own server that I can fire up without any setup. That'd make it easier to upgrade. I'd just have to drop the WAR in, re-copy my configs, and I'd be done. I still haven't updated to 6.2 yet since I always have to find the instructions on how to make the Ant calls. I'm really interested in getting the Review stuff and updated Telemetry going, though, so it'll be soon.
