hallo adam,

a modern way of doing docs for an open-source 
project ... but you dont get it for free.

my recomendation: 

[this may still not be the right way to 
go, but ...]

*step 0*

put this under investigation:

http://svn.codehaus.org/grails/trunk/grails-doc

*step 1*

ask graeme or peter, if they want to share information
about their experiences doing docs the grails way.
-> motivations, advantages, disadvantages
 
*step 2*

after going step 1, ask yourself, if this is a right   
way to do gradle-docs too. if so publish a proposal
at gradle-dev mailinglist.

important point: migration of latex-doc

*step3a*

ask graeme and peter, if they would support factoring out 
the core of grails-doc into a separate codehaus project.

*step 3b*

if you still want to do it and developers accept the 
proposal, start migrating docs.

*step 4*

after successfully completing the switch of gradle-docs
have a drink on graeme ... ;-)

grĂ¼sse
