I came to Haiku after the discussion about docbook versus doxygen, at least 
I don't remember it... :-) In many places in the code, I came across 
doxygen documentation, and I thought it was pretty nice. Whenever it made 
sense, I updated documentation, or tried to include documentation when I 
added new functions. I guess this is exactly the point of doxygen. I have 
no idea what the reason was to make docbook the official tool for 
documentation. (I should probably try to look it up in the mail archives, 
but don't feel like that right now.) So if you manage to bridge between 
docbook and doxygen somehow, so that we can even continue to document our 
stuff with doxygen and official blessing, I'm all for it! I would 
appreciate your work very much.

Best regards,
-Stephan
