Isn't Quanta well on its way here already??

Also, I think we should separate "writing content" from "marking up docbook"
here. If someone can do it in one go: fine. If others can write good content
but abhor DocBook, we should try and find volunteers to do the marking up.
After all, this is how it works for KDE documentation (with Lauri bearing the
brunt of the markup work, AFAIK). 

I myself contributed around 130 pages to the "Official Samba HOWTO and 
Reference Guide", part of the Samba sources, and released under the GPL (and 
also published as a printed book by Prentice Hall under a commercial contract 
with 2 Samba Team mebers acting as trustees for the complete Samba Team).

I wrote HTML/ASCII content completely, and one of the DocBook experts of the
Samba Team made the markup. Had I been required to deliver in DocBook, the
two printing chapters in that book would be here now.

Cheers,
Kurt
