Yes...the conversion is possible as there is/are tools already for
LinuxDoc to DocBook. Although the biggest complaint I believe is that
it was just plain *ugly*.
Aside from that....our goal right now is to agree on where to start with
the Author's Guide.
I will set up the CVS for it some time this week (real job has me busy)
and then we can begin.

&gt; Frederik&gt; I would suggest you try to convert a few documents
&gt; Frederik&gt; automatically, and consider what you want to do based on
&gt; Frederik&gt; that, without dismissing conversion out-of-hand.
&gt;
&gt; No one has rejected conversion explicitly or implicitly or any other
&gt; way. The debate wasn't between 'conversion' and 'no conversion'. We
&gt; will be offering all LDP authors a converted-to-DB version of their
&gt; Linuxdoc materials. In fact, that's been done before, iirc.
&gt;
&gt; Best,
