All -

I am starting to look at using Publican to publish our documentation. I am just 
getting started but so far it looks very promising. Here is what I know so far.

1. Publican uses DocBook XML as its input so the source for our documentation 
would not have to change. Although it would need to be tweaked in a few areas, 
mostly image tags.
2. Publican is available on all the major Linux distributions including Fedora, 
Red Hat, Ubuntu and Debian.
3. It can produce output formats like pdf, html, epub, Eclipse plugin, and a 
few 
more.
4. It can do language translations on the fly. We need to look carefully at 
this 
one.
5. Both Fedora and Red Hat use Publican for all their documentation. Other 
Linux 
distributions are also considering adopting it.
6. Publican is mostly self-contained although it uses xslt underneath. But it 
does not require just about anything else to produce a document.

I am really busy at my day job this month but as things begin to get under 
control on that front I will start trying to publish one or two of our docs 
just 
to see what they look like.

Stay tuned.
