docbook: Thread: Gerd Berget's HOWTO hierarchy as DocBook

Once the TLDP HOWTO categories are finalized it would be relatively easy 
to create the hierarchy using DocBook XML.  This DocBook document, 
together with some XSL transforms, could be used for a number of things 
one of which would be to generate a master index of the TLDP site based 
on the hierarchy of categories.

I have put together a sample document which can be viewed at: 
http://www.happy-monkey.net/docbook/tldp-hierachy.xml  It does not 
contain the full hierarchy, but has the basic structure with comments 
and a few examples of actual HOWTOs.  It should be easy to view in any 
XML capable browser or as plain text.

Is this DocBook hierarchy a worthwhile quest?  Any questions or 
comments, please let me know.

Errr...that's (more or less) exactly what our HOWTO-INDEX provides:

  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/categories.html

Which happens to be a DocBook marked-up document in
it's source form.

Ah, I assumed incorrectly that it was just HTML.
