Hi all,
As I told Mark, I am mainly involved in the debian-l10n-french project.
And I am not a DD.
So I am likely to be not very useful in collaborative maintenance!
But I am interested in all the sgml-xml stuff. Maybe this project could
accept "light" members like me?
Let me know if what you mean by "participate" implies to be a DD.
I maintain a package, debiandoc2dbxml, a script which helps moving from
debiandoc-sgml to docbook-xml. For the moment, all the files are in the
debian-doc cvs. I think they would be better placed in this project cvs. And
all of you could maintain and upload it in the archive.
Cheers,
