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

[web gurl]

I agree that the Drupal book type would be an ideal fit for document control
and organization. Someone may have already mentioned this, but there is a
Drupal book export to DocBook mod for Drupal version 5.x (Drupal still seems
to be supporting 5, although 6.x has been out for a while).  I haven't read
much about converting a Docbook into Drupal, but that is a very interesting
idea!  Has anyone used the Drupal mode to export Docbook? Just curious as to
whether it is validates.

Thanks,
Robin
