I've been working on converting your Developers' Guide to Docbook for a 
while now.  I've got a Docbook version just about finished I think, but 
I've been having trouble working out the finer details of converting it to 
html, pdf etc.  I emailed you on 12 July not long after I started this work 
but it seems you didn't get the message.

I spotted a few errors that I made in the conversion that I'd like to sort 
out first, but I could email you the xml document in the next day or two if 
you'd like?

I shouldn't have thought so.  I haven't read the relevant license, but I 
suppose that as long as the transparent formats are available, it wouldn't 
violate any bit of the licence if the opaque formats were made available 
already.

I'm sure they will - it will generally be a case of getting together new 
sets of DTD's and stylesheets, rather than compiling new tools.  At the 
moment Docbook v4.1.2 is probably the one to go for, because it's XML-based 
rather than SGML, which is where Docbook is going apparently.
