I don't mind including graphics, but there needs to be a maintenance path. SVG might be something to try. You could even create a simpler catalog description
file in an ad-hoc XML format and then create the SVG automatically.
InDesign does have an SVG export option. I haven't done anything with it, and it's something I'll look into.
By the way, when done well, pictures like the catalog layout, the backend
flow chart, or a graphical representation of a query plan also make nice
posters.
Now there's a thought. The docs might be pretty much taken care of, but when's your next presentation? :)

want a better drawing tool, try KDE's Kontour.
I think Elein would be happy to host it on General Bits while we work on
re-inventing Techdocs.
Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know once I've updated the diagram to match what's in 7.4.

It is the second to last slide.
Thanks, Josh and Bruce, for alternative apps. I'll take a look!
