Gary,
Regardless of the merits of your case, *someone* would have to do all the things
that need to be done. Choose a DTD, modify it as needed, configure whatever
needs configuing, set everything up to work smoothly, and then actually produce
output in needed formats from the source files. Are you volunteering?
And even if someone sets all this up and is willing and able to do the work in
producing output, what happens when that person is not available? Everything
comes to a screeching halt, or goes on hold for a long time until someone can
find the time to catch up. That's a major bottleneck.
If the original source files are in .odt, then anyone can carry on as we are
doing now. Not ideal, but low-barrier, no-cost, no outside programs to learn, no
specialist knowledge required. No distraction from producing CONTENT. Easy to
make a PDF. Easy (if tedious) to put the same info on the wiki. No drama.
If your proposal (for multiple outputs) can be grafted on to that minimalist
base, AND you or someone will actually do it, that's cool. Go for it.
