Yes, I think that too -- and those who want a fast result should help achieving it. Depending on how the release schedules for KDE 4 and Docbook 5.0 /roughly/ turns out, and what the KDE developers decides to do, it would perhaps be possible for the KDE developers to emigrate during the alphas/betas of Docbook 5, in order to help with testing. It could be risky for KDE, but not necessarily. I'll keep my eyes open. Cheers, Frans
