I think managing process documentation is one of the most important features that OFBiz can provide. This is especially true if we can make the editing process easy and provide access controls that reflect the user's role in the business. Since our users need this functionality I think it makes perfect sense to use our own documentation as a testbed. That said, the current CMS has severe limitations that will make contribution difficult. I also have questions about the use of DocBook for making contributions. I understand the value of DocBook but I also think it might be easier to get there using a conversion process (ie. transform wiki markup into DocBook XML). As I've said in the past, we would be happy to help with an implementation of the WYSIWYG editing environment that we are using on our projects. The core is checked in, the main limitation is that there is not a really excellent WYSIWYG browser based editing environment that is under the ASL. The closest thing is the GWT Rich Text Editor but it lacks tables and other important mark-up tools.
