Hi,

I have been trying to export some pages from the ubuntu wiki into docbook. I used the Test Wiki here:
http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/TestWiki
and this seemed to work ok.

The problem is that this export dtd (http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd) appears not
conform to the DTD on the system docs which is a version earlier:

<!DOCTYPE chapter PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN"
	  "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd" [
	  <!ENTITY % globalent SYSTEM "../../../libs/global.ent">
	  %globalent;
	  <!ENTITY % genericent SYSTEM "../../libs/generic.ent">
	  %genericent;
	  <!ENTITY % cdo-C SYSTEM "../../../libs/cdo-C.ent">
	  %cdo-C;
	  <!ENTITY % gnome-menus-C SYSTEM "../../../ubuntu/libs/gnome-menus-C.ent">
	  %gnome-menus-C;
	  <!ENTITY % xinclude SYSTEM "../../../libs/xinclude.mod">
	  %xinclude;
	  <!ENTITY language "&EnglishAmerican;">
	  <!ENTITY ubuntu '<phrase>Ubuntu</phrase>'>
	  ]>

consequently the export will not validate without extensive hand editing of the xml to fit.

1. Has anyone implemented a moin export plugin to docbook for the Ubuntu DTD??
2. If not this is clearly a suboptimal situation as far as docs are concerned
3. Does anyone have the necessary skills to enable such a solution for the doc team?
