I am interested in translation and infrastructural work of dragonfly's documentation and have several patches for them personally, but I think switching the docs to a Wiki or the like is problematic for languages other than English and output formats other than HTML. So while it is not so easy to handle XML/SGML docs and its build infrastructure as you pointed out, it is worth sticking to such portable and standardized way. BTW, is there anything I can do to help you? I can send the patches if it would not be too much trouble... -- | Hiroki SATO
