  Evergreen

  

Just a quick note of thanks to the DocBook community for all the 
  assistance over the past six months. At our first-ever user conference about 
  20 of us had a three-hour documentation session that concluded with 
  establishing the Evergreen DIGgers (documentation implementation group) and in 
  order, committing to single-source, standards-based documentation, and then to 
  DocBook. (Being librarians, the order of precedence was important...) We also 
  committed to meeting every two weeks for, well, forever and we have a more 
  elaborate series of plans for establishing style guide (for markup, of course 
  :> ), toolkits, heavily-annotated templates, etc. The group understood that 
  this wasn't a trivial commitment but also understood that DocBook is, in a 
  way, inevitable and a right fit. The groundwork had been laid in advance, but 
  this meeting was the clincher. 

This is our five-minute lightning talk 
  we did today -- for those who are interested, I will also provide a link to 
  the (much, much longer) slideset from Wednesday.

I am indebted to the docbook-apps community for my ability to 
  oh-so-casually perform a live XSL transform  (with a little shout-out to 
  the oXygen folks too). 

Thanks again,
