Hi Tony,

welcome to the Argo dev team! I'm the guy that worked on Java code generation 
and reverse engineering some time ago (on top of the work of great people I'm 
not worthy to compare with), and due to "crazy life" I had to leave many things 
in an unsatisfying state. I'd really appreciate if someone could step in, so 
that this part of ArgoUML is further developed/maintained, so I'm glad to read 
about your interest in that generation topic. Please find my comment on the 
issue you chose.

Anyway, I'm more than happy to share with you all that I know, which is not too 
much anymore I fear... :D

Regards,
Thomas Neustupny

Hey Tom,

First of all, thanks for your enthusiastic and warm welcome!  I must apologize 
for the late response; life gone crazy.  Things got less crazy, so I'm back. :)

I'll take your recommendation and start with bugs and DocBook.  I poked around 
and found a bug I was interested in 
(http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7), subscribed, and added my 
two cents.  Is that all there is to it? 

Also, I see that the documentation is written in DocBook 4.  Is there any 
reason DocBook 5 is not being used?  If not, I believe I could convert it 
without much difficulty. 

Converting would allow many benefits, including standard XML notation, XML 
modules (for example, XInclude, rather than having to define entities for 
sections of the book), being built on top of existing standards (e.g. 
"xml:lang"), and (mercifully!) context-sensitive elements.  For example, 
because of limitations of DTD, there might be elements like <articleinfo>, 
<sectioninfo>, and forth.  In DocBook 5 there is simply <info>, which describes 
its parent element.  Far more intuitive, consistent, and saves a few keystrokes 
to boot.  :D

Also, is there a way to create/edit CSS for the Cookbook's HTML ouput? 
Or is it pretty much stuck with what Tigris has?

Quick summary of my questions:

   1. Is helping out with bugs really that simple?  Or is there more?
   2. Any reason against DocBook 5?  (If not, can I begin converting?)
   3. Any way to customize CSS for the online Cookbook?

Thank you muchly!
