Hi Osamu, victory e.a.,

Yes, we need to finally convert the Debian FAQ from debiandoc to modern DocBook
XML, so that obsolete debiandoc toolchain can get removed.

I just found out that running "debiandoc2dbk debian-faq.sgml" from within
an SVN checkout produces pretty neat debian-faq.dbk/*.dbk files.  That
seems to work :)

victory: I guess that's what you did to produce faq-db5.tbz, right?

I am pretty sure our Makefile needs some work too, after this conversion...

Osamu: do you have time to work on this, soonish?  I am not quite sure what
would be the best course of action now: what should be done first?  Perhaps I
could first release the current FAQ?  debian/changelog lists enough changes to
warrant a release I guess...  I believe I have some time soonish and could e.g.
release within a week from now.

Or I could try to do the conversion myself, and make it build again, and make
sure the po4a infrastructure still works.  However, I'm afraid that would take
me longer than a month...

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Bye,

Joost
