Has anyone tried this? Looks like a bridge between DocBook and a
wiki-style of editing, as discussed on recent threads.
I haven't yet tried actual editing with the software.

I tried the demo, but it was password protected.

Ha! It just goes to show you, no itch is an island. If you see that it
needs to be done, chances are someone somewhere is already working on
it.
Upsides without doing a deeper review:
* Resolves most of the concerns from earlier by giving everyone what
they want to work with, and storing it all in XML in a CVS.
* It appears the developer does work using Fedora:
http://www.soft.inima.al/book/INSTALL
Perhaps s/he is interested in maintaining a package for Extras? Or
otherwise integrating with the Fedora Project?
Downsides I see so far:
* New piece of infrastructure required? I don't know if we can get this
hosted on fedora.redhat.com, which is where it _should_ be. That
requires someone to install, configure, and admin.
* Can it use our existing CVS seamlessly?
* Can we hack it effectively? It already uses xsltproc, so we're most
of the way there, right?
* Do all the components come as packages? I reckon this will be a
requirement of the host system administrator.
swish-e
viewcvs
phpwebapp
docbookwiki
php = 4.3.2 (for some scripts)
Anyone with time and know how to:
A) Install the software.
B) Document the installation (at least notes).
C) Provide a report back to us on ease of installation and any other
software details worth mentioning?
I'm totally interested, and also totally don't have time to do it now.
Also, all my lab machines are busy. :/
Very promising!

Is there a reason
these links aren't the default?

The user 'guest' (password: guest) now has admin rights
on the test book, so he can edit it as well.

Wow, this is really neat!
I just did some test editing of the test book, seems to handle
<replaceable>, <command>, <screen> etc nicely
Is there a way to get it to support entities, I wonder?

This thing is absolutely great!
It would be perfect if it did the syntax highlighting in docbook mode.

It can sit on fedoraproject.org if it passes security sanity; being PHP
dependent, you'll have to bend Seth to allow it
IIRC, next week you're in for attending our meeting, and you should get
the invite from gdk soon. Bring this up during the meeting, thanks
