I think what will keep even more people from writing anything is the
lack of a free, simple to use WYSIWYG DocBook editor. Or did I miss
anyhting any anyone can recommend one. If so, why not put it in the
guide.
I know about all the DocBook modules for emacs, about XML modes for
editors, etc. but that I envision is something that is as easy to use as
a word processor but is just able to read and write DocBook.
What comes closest to my knowledge is AbiWord (a free cross-platform
work processor) that has some DocBook import and export filters, but
they are more experimental. At least they were last time I was looking
at them.

I agree, if I didn't already know DocBook I wouldn't have been able to
write anything by reading the guide. IMO, it is way too long for the
subject matter it covers.
