I would agree to all that, if we really have someone more or less
responsible for integrating new docs. There might be contributors
who don't want to learn docbook. They must be helped then. Even if
there will be a way to use OpenOffice to edit Docbook documents,
someone should be there an help. We needed a page explaining what
to do to write new docs. Some links, examples etc...

In the long term....

That sounds easy. Does it use GhostScript internally? 
And is there a usable (= clickable)
table of contents within the resulting pdf document?
