A DocBook Wiki! (That is, a Wiki front-end to a DocBook back-end, not a Wiki about DocBook) love this idea - mostly because this morning in the shower I thought “The World Needs a DocBook Wiki!”, and, lo and behold, the world has one.

Why is this a good idea?

• because wiki content is not portable - the markup is embedded
• because wiki markup only makes sense to the wiki rendering engine
• because it would be easy to map the limited number markup tags used in a wiki to DocBook tags
• because DocBook is a beatiful thing; wiki content stored in DocBook format becomes data
