Thanks Will for summing this up.

Everyone that wants to join but is afraid to "dive into the code":

I'd love to get some help for the docbook documentation (which is
available from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/velocity/docbook/trunk/). 

All you need is minor understanding of docbook, the xxe editor from
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ (which is free and runs everywhere
from Linux to MacOS and Windows) and some basic knowledge of
Velocity. And you will have Will and me around to poke holes into our
brains and get all the information out that you always wanted to
have. :-)

        Best regards
                Henning
