Yes, and i am very happy for it! :)

AFAIK, some guys from the ubuntu gang are working on a Moin-DocBook
parser which will be great because all we wiki could be "easily"
transformed into DocBook.

DocBook is great but not when coordinating many people working at the
same time on the same docs and needing peer-reviewing, beacuse then
you get forced to a SVN, while when using Moin, we all get notifed,
can read, see changes, see diff, get statistics, revert, use ACL's,
have templates, etc.
Anyways, i am a simple translator and interpreter, and probably have
worked on less collaborative documentations processes than you all, so
whatever you decide it is best choice, that I will try to use.
