I tried to make a connection between our need for a manual format and the
general need for working with documents some TYPO3 users have. Maybe we can't
have this connection, because a manual is too structured and the OASIS XML
offers too less semantics.
Those who have experience with DocBook and OpenOffice and who are in favour of
using it: Can you prepare a document demonstrating how working with DocBook
in OpenOffice looks like in the reality?
If that is as easy as writing manuals with OpenOffice like we do now, I don't
see a reason *not* switching to DocBook. But that wouldn't be a short-term
project and must be well planned ...
