David Merrill is developing http://www.lampadas.org/ . It is all inclusive
Documentation Management System, with Wiki, CVS and a whole lotta other
goodies.
Cocoon is a very simple way of converting DocBook XML 4.1.2 to HTML, PDF,
RTF etc.
The way I have setup the server is that you can drop a file into the
http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/ folder by using WebFolder under IE 5.0/6.0
(File -> Open (check Open as Web Folder))
And then you can access the HTML rendering of it using
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/{howto_name}.html
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/{howto_name}.pdf
e.g.
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/openjade.html
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/Apache-WebDAV-LDAP-HOWTO.html
Currently it is only capable of handeling DocBook XML 4.1.2
If anyone wants to test-drive the system, I can create a account for you,
and you can drop in the HOWTO in the http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/

I'm very interested in this -- I was just about to post to the list
suggesting that in parallel to all our efforts to document the setup
procedures for a Docbook processing workstation (I've actually been
writing a generalised one for SGML for academics for a while now); the
LDP also set up a web site where authors may submit markup for:
a) validation / parsing (according to DTD used)
b) rendition into a,b,c,d... presentation format(s)
thus obviating the need for non-tecnically inspired authors to go
through the trauma of setting up their own processing environment
locally.
(Didn't David Merrill use to have a site that did this? Can't remember
the URL offhand. His old site seems to have disppeared, too.)
Would your site be suitable for this, Saqib?
What sort of DTD library can it cope with?
