Well met Chris! I too have been looking into Drupal/Docbook interfaces and have started a book on the subject. I think that we have a functional group forming around the Drupal design in an organic way! I have been toying along the lines of a module that would transform a docbook into a set of Drupal nodes of book type, but that is really a very crude musing at this point. I am looking forward to the challenges in any event and to being a part of this group.

You might check out the timeline and tasks, and also think about whether we need a functional group specifically for the Drupal design issue. This interfaces with an issue dear to many hearts, which is rehabbing the evergreen-ils.org site, so that the documentation set has a better "wrapper" and there is confluence among the website proper and the project documentation. In my head it would be cool to do XML to Drupal-html so that the output can carry some of the functionality possible on Drupal, such as user comments. Don't know if that's doable or what.
