Hi Henning -T
he current system we use is in our SVN in the incubator, but the most
recent improvements (allowing multiple levels of docbook and FOP, and
obtaining the docbook & saxon distrs from places other than Apache,
support for FOP 0.93, etc.) is not checked in yet...
The incubator spot is
svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/uimaj/trunk/uima-docbooks
I'll probably check in the other stuff in about a week, when I get some
time to come up for air.

Hi everyone -
The UIMA project has embraced the docbook process, starting with setup
that Velocity had.
We use it to produce our documentation in HTML (single) and PDF. We've
perhaps "improved" it in some small ways, but haven't found the time to
clean up what we've done
quite yet.
I would suggest if we had a little more time, to transfer whatever of
these improvements to
this project. The improvements include things like making xi:includes
work, moving to
FOP 0.93 and the latest docbook level (actually, supporting multiple
levels), having the distr
not contain some of the publically available tools, but instead
downloading them on first use,
only unpacking zip files once, etc. (Some of these things you may have
done already... but
I've not been "tracking" since we started with your tooling).
Terrific! I did not know about that.
If you give me an URL / location for this, we can collaborate on
merging this back. Personally I would prefer to do this post-1.0,
mainly to establish a baseline which can be used for others to start
without having to check out from the Repository.
If you branched off an earlier version, it is probably interesting for
you that the current setup is much less intrusive than the old version
used to be: You can now have a single install of the framework for any
number of docs without having to have multiple copies of it.
I see the DBF branch out of Velocity at some point in the future. I
was thinking labs but as lab projects are actually not allowed to do
formal releases, this might not be the right place and there is no
real project inside Apache charged with tooling and/or documentation.
So it will rest inside Velocity for the time being.
Best regards
Henning

This is the CfV for the first release of the Velocity DocBook Framework.
It is intended for creating and maintaining high quality documentation
generated in the DocBook format. The framework itself is completely
generic, non-intrusive, 100% bio-degradable and environment-friendly.
The release candidate is available from
http://people.apache.org/~henning/DocBook-Framework/
The documentation (which also serves as showcase example is visible at
http://people.apache.org/~henning/DocBook-Framework/DocBook-Framework-1.0.pdf)
