[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] a latecomer's introduction

[Wills,Steve]

Well met Chris!  

I too have been looking into Drupal/Docbook interfaces and have started a book on the subject.  I think that we have a functional group forming around the Drupal design in an organic way!  I have been toying along the lines of a module that would transform a docbook into a set of Drupal nodes of book type, but that is really a very crude musing at this point.  I am looking forward to the challenges in any event and to being a part of this group.

Welcome aboard, Chris (and Steve Dressler, too--look forward to your
intro)!  You  might check out the timeline and tasks, and also think
about whether we need a functional group specifically for the Drupal
design issue. This interfaces with an issue dear to many hearts, which
is rehabbing the evergreen-ils.org site, so that the documentation set
has a better "wrapper" and there is confluence among the website
proper and the project documentation. In my head it would be cool to
do XML to Drupal-html so that the output can carry some of the
functionality possible on Drupal, such as user comments. Don't know if
that's doable or what.

I've been a public librarian in some form or other for the past 7 years and have been working for the Georgia Public Library Service since last June.  I'm researching how to use DocBook and especially how it might interface with Drupal (a topic Steve Willis brought up last week).  I look forward to working with all of you and want to contribute in any way I can.
