David,

I tried it with little success. The system was not stable.

In addition I think that what we want is a web-based editor that will hide the 
XML src. One of the main obstacles to a authoring is that people do not know 
docbook. The other is that they do not know how to manage svn.

If you can find a way to make it stable and overcome the above, then it would 
be a great solution.

Thanks for your ideas.
