Rick:
If you've read any of the previous messages sent in the last 24 hours you
would have seen:
"please, do not forget the mandatory charge: the site have to be
mirrorable. So plain html! Html 5 would be good.
jdd"
Lose the snooty attitude and keep your assumptions and quick characterisms
about other to yourself.

I'm confused: Did someone tell you DocBook is required? If so, who and
where? To the best of my recollection, that has never been the case.
Rick, I think he was just under the impression that was the standard.
Before speculating, maybe we should wait for Angelo to answer.
He said 'got positive feedback from the discussion list' but somehow got
the impression that submissions aren't accepted in any format other than
DocBook. I personally never heard that. What I always saw,
consistently over a period of many years, were statements (paraphrasing
those here, obviously) that you are welcome to submit just about
anything withing reason, and that LDP's volunteers will then help you
whip it into shape.
If there material somewhere that says DocBook is required, let's find that.
Maybe Angelo can tell us.
I have no idea what _you_ mean by 'the standard': It's either claimed to
be required or not. If not (which is my clear recollection), then
Angelo would seem, on the evidence, to have delayed submitting
whatever-it-was he wrote on the basis of an unfortunate misunderstanding.
Happily, we're now in a position to fix that.
Angelo, what document are you referring to, please?
What JDD wants is a mirrored site, both static DocBook HOWTOs and it's
twin in Wiki form.
That doesn't very well match my understanding of what JDD has ever said.
I believe his short sentence on the front page of the wiki _does_
describe the intended model quite well: 'This part aims to be the LDP
workshop, where new documents are written, and where old ones are
updated.'
However, one problem at a time, please. Your characterisation
(foregoing) doesn't seem to bear on Angelo's problem, which I was
attempting to fix.
