I have no XML-experience but I think if we donŽt want to change tags
and referencing, we donŽt have to know that much about it.

So my questions:

- If I edit the pages in OpenOffice (as is discussed right now because
of its availability and interface, not everyone likes emacs, but that
definitely is another topic), can I use the DocBook XML filters to
generate usable XML?

- Would you recommend to just add a samba-german-docs-tree to the
Samba-CVS and let the participating people access that subtree with
rw-rights? I think this would simplify the whole process, right now we
are discussing how and where to host that project.

I donŽt know if this is possible, but I think, it would keep things
together and people like you or John H Terpstra could have an eye on
it to keep us from making the mistakes you want us to avoid.

I am sure we will find a good solution to those starting problems.

thank you all
