Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] The first draft of DB5 how-to
/ Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz> was heard to say: | attached is the first draft of transition guide for DocBook V5.0. If you would | like to see rendered (albeit not yet very fancy) version go to: | | http://kosek.cz/temp/dbng-howto.html | http://kosek.cz/temp/dbng-howto.pdf | | Comments are more then welcome. I'm CC'ing Mike Smith because he has been using | DocBook NG for a long period and can provide useful feedback and ideas. | | I will really appreciate if some native speaker can do proofreading. Any | volunteers? I'll do a once-through for English grammar. | Extensive section about customizations is missing, I might have time for | finishing it during the next month. I'll try to convert the relevant chapter of TDG soon. | During writing of this text I found two things that should be sorted out before | we release the first alpha of DocBook V5.0. | | * Draft of DocBook V5.0 specification points to address http://docbook.org/rng/ | where schemas should be, but aren't. We don't have any official 5.0 schemas to point to yet. | * We should decide on locations where particular schemas (DTD, RNG, | WXS) will be available and mention these locations in how-to. True. I suppose the consistent thing to do would be to leave them under /xml. | I also started thinking about the best way to publish this how-to. Should we | publish it as an TC outcome on OASIS site? Or on docbook.sf.net or docbook.org? | Actually I would like to publish it somewhere where can I easily update it. Of | course I can always publish it on my site, where I can easily modify it. I just | like to know your opinions. Any of the above seem fine to me. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | There exist some evils so terrible http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | and some misfortunes so horrible Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | that we dare not think of them, | whilst their very aspect makes us | shudder; but if they happen to | fall on us, we find ourselves | stronger than we imagined; we | grapple with our ill luck, and | behave better than we expected we | should.--La Bruyère
