Hi Volker,

Things seem to work now...
I read the doc...
I wrote a JSON-generator script (using good old bash).
I could manage to change title with a conversion table

Now the remaining issues are minor:
(1) I could not avoid the insertion of the title page - is it possible ? (Otherwise I will use pdftk to solve this.)
(2) the TOC - later possibly

Find in annex my bash script : It contains both the data (page title and PDF title and numbering) and all used code. It is certainly NOT standard, and probably not robust, but it works fine for me : covering what we discussed and some more.

I just expect from you a possible answer to (1) above.

Thanks for all your time and help.

Best regards,

Philippe

This is currently only supported if the collection extension is used. If 
not, some programming is involved - but this can be done in a language 
of your choice: you need to look at the metabook spec (referenced below) 
which basically is a json encoded dictionary. You only need a simple 
programm (like the one I attached to my mail earlier) to generate this 
format.
  
- remaining : TOC construction (but for now it is a NTH - but I am 
eager to see later your version declared "stable")

Regarding the metabook doc, I could not find it in the "site-packages" 
subtree.
It is somewhere else ? Where ?

    
That depends on how you installed mwlib. Did you check out the sources 
with mercurial? Or do you use the mwlib version from the python package 
index (http://pypi.python.org/pypi)?

In any case you can find the latest version of the metabook 
documentation here:
http://code.pediapress.com/hg/mwlib/file/tip/docs/metabook.txt
  
Regarding your py script, I got this message:

    p...@mmm:~$ python metabookgenerator.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "metabookgenerator.py", line 4, in <module>
        import simplejson
    ImportError: No module named simplejson

    
simplejson is a python module which you need to install. if you have 
easy_install you simply need to do:
easy_install simplejson

  
How would I solve this ?
*So I am still looking for the metabook / json format !*
    
see above

Regards,
Volker
