As a question out of left field, has anyone in the docs team looked at
using Confluence + Scroll Wiki Exporter?
http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/
http://www.scrollyourwiki.com/display/web/Scroll+Wiki+Exporter
I've used Confluence in organisations before, and it's best of breed for
Wiki software. It also supports direct editing of wiki pages through
OpenOffice and MS Word, which is *brilliant* for people used to using a
word processor!
The Scroll Wiki Exporter plug-in for it exports the content to DocBook
v5 and/or DITA, which Publican could (in theory) then build/publish.
The Scroll Wiki Exporter plug-in seems to get high marks/good reviews,
so thinking it might actually be a go-er.
I keep thinking I should set up an demo on a server and see if it
actually works in practise, but I'm not sure if anyone is actually
interested enough to have a look. :)
?
Regards and best wishes,
