Subject: GSoC 2011 project idea
Hello Folks, I'm interested in applying to SoC 2011 with a DocBook project and I would like to know your opinion about it. My idea is to take the old and outdated DocBook Slides schema, provide a RELAX NG schema and then review and update it with the same revolutionary ideas that were introduced in DocBook 5.0, like XLink references, simplified markup, etc. This would make the schema simpler and easier to use and would reduce the gap between DocBook and DocBook Slides, permitting the use of the same toolset and share of common chunks by XInclude. Articles like a thesis or a scientific work are usually accompanied by a presentation and it would be very useful to be able to handle them with the same toolset and in the same manner. What do you think about it? This project was already accepted in 2010 but I got another accepted proposal and I chose the other one because I was more familiar with that project. But this time my priority is DocBook, so if you still consider this idea useful, please vote for me. I've already talked to Stefan Seefeld and with his guidance, I've already added my idea to the ideas wiki page. I've also created my wiki page with a short introduction: http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/GaborKovesdan Regards, Gabor
