Is there an easy way to convert mediawiki to docbook xml? I'd love to have a more easily editable development location for the final PDF/html content (to be frozen for distribution once per release, just as the release is), and my concern is the amount of effort needed to transfer wiki changes to the docbook xml we need, particularly if we want to preserve the attribution of commits. I'm looking at docbook editors (for instance, http://vex.sourceforge.net/) that might make this easier, but nothing jumps out at me so far. The TOS textbook was written on the wiki and then frozen and painstakingly converted to docbook xml by hand - it was a nontrivial more-than-full-day task for an experienced docs person, and I'm not sure we have someone who can step up to do that right now (if anyone is willing, that'd be great!) --Mel _______________________________________________ SoaS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
