I think snarfing from Confluence to feed DocBook would be a useful approach. Support not there yet, however, and looks a bit like it's not high up the priority list [0].
Since most people on this would probably prefer this to be couched in terms of a technical challenge, here's what we would need to do: - take the XML-style export from Confluence and mangle-ize it to produce DocBook, or maybe even something that the usual writer tools can support Of course, we could also export and mangle-ize the PDF export too, depending. In any case, we would need a set of exemplars to construct the xform - I wonder could we work up some kind of an example to see what the scope of such a task might be? More important is the structural aspect. One follows a wiki like going through a maze. If you could take a bird's eye view of the maze, then it would look strange and tangled. Formal doc, however is not meant to be traversed like a maze - it's more like a set of terraces. From the top terrace you can see all the way to the end - there is a logical flow and a structure. How can we resolve the maze with the terraces? cheers --oh [0] http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-762
