I think to get the ball rolling as you say, we should start with
something simple, and use that as long as possible. As long as we are a
tiny community with a very low amount of end user documentation, I
guess we can also easily live with something simple that lowers the
barrier for everyone wanting to get started to write docs. Like a Wiki;
I would assume there is something usable out there for us that even
supports getting converted to Docbook.
In any case, I think that HTML is not a very practical documentation
source code format, although CSS considerably improves upon that.
Bye,
Axel.
