[NTG-context] ConTeXt FAQ -- next generation?

[Hraban]

Ahoi eXperts!

I'd like to start another attempt for a ConTeXt-FAQ-o-matic.
I'm too busy and too less able to do the whole work myself,
so I'd be glad if the appropriate experts would take their part.

We need...
1. a definition (Schema?) for the XML source
2. conversion patterns for ConTeXt (environment) and XHTML (XSLT?)
3. a web surface (with search engine, web edit form etc.)
4. last not least lots of entries

I'd try to coordinate the whole project, will host the site, could care for 3
and help with the other, but first someone must take responsibility for 1 and 2.
Any volunteers?

Some requirements of the definition (1):
- one XML file can contain all entries
- an other file will contain redundant information like authors
- each entry may contain several languages (I'd like to keep the door open for partly translations; I imagine that a web user sees his favourite language if available)
- entry IDs must be in some way, that user contributions (files with several entries or corrections) can join in.
- markup possibilities like WikiWeb (emphasis, enumeration, easy table, link)
- proper code markup (e.g. for TeX, ConTeXt, shell, perl code)
- additional (normally invisible) keywords for search engine (web) or index (TeX)
- some flexible subject/subsubject structure
- some versioning (also like WikiWeb: each user may change every entry, but an admin must be able to undo it)
- someone suggested to use a DocBook subset; don't know if that's possible

Requirement of the conversion (2):
- easily adaptable to a new layout (web or print)
- additional software must be open source and run on Debian Linux (SPARC) (web server) and MacOS X (my machine)

Is anything of the above impossible?

I suppose (1) will result in something like

cookbook
soups
recipe id=hr-1
language lang=en original=yes
title /title
keywords /keywords
ingredients
item /item
item /item
/ingredients
preparation
much text with markup and code snippets
/preparation
/language
language lang=de original=no
title /title
/language
/recipe
/soups
desserts
/desserts
/cookbook

Greets hoping for feedback and helping hands:
Hraban.
