Ok, we're up and running. There is a new mailing list available:
d...@open-mpi.org
You must be subscribed in order to post. Subscribe here:
http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/docs
The web archives of this list on the www.open-mpi.org web site
currently give a "permission denied" issue; that'll be fixed in the
next [business] day or two.
Anyone who is interested -- please go subscribe on the docs list and
let's continue the conversation over there.

Sorry, but LaTex is not a viable solution for open source community
development of documentation. DocBook (XML) is one solution,
another is DITA.
I'm looking into some other open source communities that I'm
familiar with to see what they're using.
The general requirement for authoring/publishing tools would be
something like:
1. tools themselves are open source
2. free
3. available on nearly all platforms (W/XP, Linux, MacOSX,
Solaris, ...)
4. generates at least pdf, HTML,
5. includes source management/version control
6. provides some opportunity for localization
We'll discuss this more once our docs email alias is established,
which could be later today. Watch for an announcement from Jeff
Squyres.

Docbook gets my vote, especially when one considers the html and
pdf output. I'd prefer LaTeX, but then I come from an academic
background :-)
I prefer LaTex too, the reason is same. Academic background :) and
new found love in LaTex Regards, Amit
