I don't think Brandon was suggesting we continue to use OOo with DocBook.  I can attest to the poor quality of the DocBook output from OOoBut it's a good way to start.  We can export to DocBook, then clean it up (a lot).  From that point on, we use XXE or a text editor... Cheers,ClintonOn 10/3/

Open Office handles the reading and writing of docbook xml files as well. We could likely take the existing iBATIS docs and save them to docbook via Open Office, fix any oddities, and go. I'm for docbook because of it's tool support and cross platform ease of use. BrandonOn 10/3/06, Larry Meadors <

Heh, well, I am for it. I think either way (APT or docbook) we can switch later, so to me it's not a decision that we need to really sweat over (on this project). I think with a little effort, we can create a modular main document that includes the child documents. I could take a crack at it lat

2.2.0 GA, or 2.2.1?

2006-10-03 Thread Jeff Butler
As far as I know, the only issue with 2.2.0 relates to the JDBC/ODBC bridge driver.  Is this enough to cause us to make a 2.2.1 release, or should we have a vote on making 2.2.0 GA with the caveat that there is a problem with the bridge driver?   Personally, I'd be OK with calling for a 2.2.0 GA v

For me the main advantage is that the source is plain XML so it's diffable.   Another advantage is that the source can be transformed into a large variety of formats (PDF, HTML, Word, Eclipse Help, etc.)   Most publishers accept DOCBOOK markup as input.  So if anyone every wanted to publish the dev

I've just read the install docs for APTit's not as bad as DocBook Wiki, but it does rely on LaTex and a couple of other de facto *nix treats.  Yeesh.  I may be starting to lean towards Confluence or DocBook.  Depends where the important values are.  Do people care about a single downloadable,

I'm for DOCBOOK.  It much more functional than APT at the cost of some complexity, it's in wide use (something of a standard), it's not really that hard to use, and there are tutorials all over the place.  I believe Larry found that we could get free licenses to a good WYSIWYG tool if someone needs

APT looks great. The "IBatis for Python" crowd will love it ;=) Others alternatives I'm forgetting? The docbook-wiki combination I mentioned in an earlier rant ( http://doc-book.sourceforge.net/homepage/ ).It basically offers similar advantages as APT and Confluence. It is editable direc
