Hello, Karl, please forget all your docbook knownledge for some minutes ;-) and then read this mail. on Freitag, 27. April 2007, Karl Eichwalder wrote:

Just a quick idea: what about adding "semantic" templates to the wiki?
I'd rather vote to enhance the wiki to make it accept DocBook XML as an input format.
I agree with Clayton here - many people are not familar with XML and prefer the wiki syntax.
OTOH, in technical books you often do not need all this semantic markup. The mediawiki file format is rich enough for computer related books.
So why isn't LfL maintained in a mediawiki? ;-)) (I guess because it needs some things the mediawiki format doesn't offer, correct?)
I'm thinking about {{menu|File}} and similar...
I believe people do not like curly braces. Curly braces are one of the reasons why LaTeX "failed".
I don't think so. The reason why more people use OpenOffice is WYSIWYG. And because you can "design" your documents easier (well, usually this shouldn't be done at all, but people like to do it ;-)
BTW, we try solve a problem that does not exist. Look at it from another point of view. [...] Later, if it turns out, you need some of the online articles as sections of a book, convert them to XML--manually or with the help of some editor marcos.
Exactly this is the point - with some wiki templates, we could have fully _automatic_ conversion to XML. This would also mean easier editing (no SVN knownledge needed, and it's nearly impossible to have syntax errors in mediawiki ;-) We could even maintain LfL in a wiki which would mean new authors wouldn't need to learn docbook. Maybe this would also attract more authors to write for LfL... Just compare the numbers - how many wiki editors does openSUSE have? And how many LfL editors? Regards, Christian Boltz --
