What do you mean with that sentence?  (Sorry, my English is not so
good.)  If you mean you're going to convert the docs to some of those
formats, allow me to *strongly* disagree.  In the first place, I'm not
eager to start such an effort without adequately discussing the pros and
cons of each proposal.  Second, we're in the process of overhauling and
synchronising docs for the 2.0 release, so it's not the best moment to
do it. ;)  And third, none of the proposals seem to be adequate for the
PyTables docs, since we need a tool which supports both narrative and
reference sections with cross-references between them (leaves Epydoc
out, dont't know about Doxygen), with good browseable and printed
output, and which supports introspection of docstrings (lots of classes
in PyTables are dynamically generated, which leaves Doxygen out).

You see, if it was as easy as that we wouldn't be keeping the docs in
sync by hand! ;)

Of course, you can do what you want with your own branch, but I still
advise you to wait until the docs are settled for an easier work.
