Subject: Re: [docbook] Best wiki engines or tools for wiki-to-docbook conversions?
Hi Jim, Atlassian is offering free licenses of their Enterprise Wiki 'Confluence' for Open Source projects. It is the best wiki I know ! E.g. some projects of Apache are using Confluence too. In combination with a free 'open source license' of Scroll Wiki Exporter (http://www.scrollyourwiki.com) you can export to DocBook as well as PDF. To get more information just visit the home page or contact me directly.
