One aspect of this conversion is how much information exists in the original format, that may be used in docbook. MediaWiki (and all other wikis I know of) have a very simple format that does not care for syntax but only for layout. You could do wild guesses about how to convert wiki to xml, but you will never be able to convert it in a way that complies with editing standards of DocBook.
Just a quick idea: what about adding "semantic" templates to the wiki? I'm thinking about {{menu|File}} and similar... This way the wiki source could have all information needed for conversion to docbook. (Enforcing the use of these semantic templates is another story of course ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Microsoft's Director .Net Strategy & Developer Group: "Ein Umstieg auf Linux ist erst einmal mit hoeheren Kosten verbunden." - CTO SuSE Linux AG: "Das ist, als wenn ich heroinsüchtig wäre und sagen würde, die Entziehungskur ist mir zu aufwändig.
