I am not looking for short term solution either ......I know any process 
improvement usually takes lot of time ..so its feasible in relatively 
longterm ...but realization that there is scope for improvement or 
alternatives present can help in change ...which can start from healthy 
discussion in  community  :-)

I am ready volunteer for wiki or cms implementation or 
conversion/migration  utility to export current docbook docs to wiki 
format/ db

just  abt my doc ...I want to discuss /explore what  merits of present 
system and if there any better alternative exist
