DocBook export is a feature of
OpenOffice.org 2.0. All you need is to
install the openoffice.org-xsltfilter and openoffice.org-javafilter
packages to enable it. I've not looked into the quality of the DocBook
output it produces, but I'm sure we could come up with ways to clean it
up or templates/guidelines to follow to get it producing what we need.
I'm not sure if it can import DocBook, but I don't even know if we'd
need it to. I suppose it is a similar situation to what we have with
the wiki.
On a further note, since the OpenDocument format is XML, I would imagine
it wouldn't be too difficult to find or produce a solution in XSLT to
'import' the DocBook back into
OpenOffice.org.
