Based upon discussions on another list that need not necessarily be discussed
here, a tangential question came up about our use of DocBook for maintaining
xubuntu-docs. Since we theoretically can export to EPUB from DocBook, what
would it take to make e-reader friendly versions of the documentation? Would
we be willing/able to make xubuntu-docs for 14.04 and 14.10 available from
xubuntu.org as a test we could receive user feedback on prior to the end of the
Vivid cycle? I don't have a full use case yet but wanted to throw the idea out
there first before I lost it.
This is a great idea, since EPUB is a supported export format it
should be pretty easy to do this, assuming that the EPUB doesn't look
horrible :) Does someone want to give this a go and share the result?
Once we know what it looks like without tweaking we can figure out how
much work it would be to make it look good.
If it looks good we can start linking the EPUB version from the docs
website, maybe do a PDF too while we're at it.
I have a work item marked for me for playing around with this. I'll send
more information on the list when I need people who know EPub better to
test stuff.
Cheers,
Pasi
