[TYPO3-doc] DocBook: repository structure and release processes

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your feedback.

Indeed. Although we try to achieve as much convergence as possible 
between the two projects, I don't see much need of cross-references 
between v4 and v5 documentation. The important thing is that we use the 
same DocBook structure and the same rendering scripts and that all 
documentation be presented on a common platform in a common format, for 
ease of use/searching/browsing for users.

> -- Packages

Well, that looks remarkably similar, so I don't think we should really 
have problems converging ;-)

Cheers
