Ok, maybe not.

I am an optimist. I still think you could do a simplified book with a wiki markup.

How hard it would be to have things work would be as simple as Tim giving us a page that expresses all features in docbook that we need for making the book.

Once we have that we can figure out what might need to be added to Doxia. Additions would be fine, changes that bust things not fine.

I'm sure we would arrive at the deficiencies list pretty quickly.

With a wysiwyg tool I ultimately no long care anymore, but being able to write a book in wiki markup would certainly be pretty cool. Simple text editing using SubethaEdit on the MAC is pretty cool where you can collaboratively edit documents. But when it comes to having real wysiwyg support, hotkeys for editing then nothing beats a rich client.

wait for that to materialize.


Me neither unfortunately. Learning docbook now ;-)

You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in.
No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow.
They know it is going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically
dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of
dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or
goals are in doubt.
