Hello Helen,

thank you very much. I think the first German chapters will be available next 
week.

Sure. Read too much in the devel-list.

Well, just a thought: We're (4 developers) working on several manuals (set with 
books) using DocBook. Instead of CVS we're using Git, but that's just an aside. 
So when the work on a manual is done, the developer commits his changes to the 
repository. In background runs a script (periodically) that fetches the current 
repository, clones it and builds the HTML and PDF outputs which are 
automatically released on the product's web site.

The actual writing is done on a develop branch. It is merged into the master 
branch after review. The script publishes the official release (master branch) 
at night at the web site while the "devel"-docs are built at an unofficial (or 
hidden) server. This can be done hourly or manually. It depends on runtime. 
With this prerelease everybody can review the doc before the merge.

The main benefit of this process is that nobody has to publish the release by 
hand and everybody knows what they have to do to get their work on the 
product's page. And of course there is still an instance doing the review work.

Hope I expressed it well. Don't know if this is something that can help. I 
think currently there are just a few commits. But maybe there could be much 
more if we're able to push smaller parts as mentioned above (sections / 
chapters). And maybe we can acquire more doc writers on that way.

Regards
Martin
