Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Manage project documents with docbook

[Eric.Belpaire@equant.com]

Ian, Mart, Murray,

thanks for your feedback.

Ian suggested to use a database to handle the information chunks related to
the intermediate deliverables of a project. Mart suggested CVS, which is
indeed useful for managing versions of documents. Murray was the closest to
my original question.

I'll have to sketch what I have in mind and perhaps come back with a
prototype.
Cordially,
Eric

I'm not aware of any DocBook DTDs or stylesheets that are geared at
project management, status reports, tracking deliverables, etc..  (I'm
thinking Microsoft Project here).  I think the FreeBSD Project would
be very interested in stuff like that.  Currently we maintain a lot of
little project management web sites about upcoming release schedules,
release checklists, project status pages (SMPng, etc..), and these
little pages are less than ideal.
