You are very odd Dave, but don't change the subject ;-)

In my case a couple of toolchain developers (minority) support a large 
number of authors (majority). The tools developer's job is to make it so 
the authors can create content without knowing much about the magic that 
turns that into pdf/html/xml artifacts. A system for managing 
dependencies like gradle+maven artifacts makes it easy to roll out 
changes without breaking existing doc builds and to hide lots of 
complexity from users.

Of course they need to understand enough to create correct markup, but 
few if any of my authors will ever subscribe to this list, but they're 
still DocBook users.
