I am only to assume that Costin is joking ;-) (At least I hope he is joking)
Not to worry, I am one of the laziest programmers alive. If someone has
already created a full-blown DTD, stylesheets to convert said DTD to say
HTML or PDF or XXX, and it has a groundswell of support, I imagine that
I could back it. Anakia, Stylebook and all of the other ilk were
created to create a website. DocBook was invented to create
documentation of any form. I am not against Anakia/Stylebook or
anything of that sort, I am just not the "Not Invented Here" type of guy.
As an outsider/lurker to apache projects for a couple of years, I am
astounded by the community that can be created by a project like
Turbine, but equally astounded by the lack of communication between the
camps. If you were listening over on new-httpd, they are still hashing
out the bug database thing, when nagoya is set up and running already.
I would hope that problems common to all communities could be solved and
implemented by all communities ;-) But that is just me, and I could be
wrong.
