This involves changes to the website and to "make release". I'm waiting for feedback on patches that make these changes from a few interested parties, and will then make the changes. Probably at around 20:00 GMT on Friday 26th March. There is one outstanding issue with the DocBook conversion that I am aware of; * Generating the PDF version does not work, due to an overflow in v1.33 of the DSSSL stylesheets that do the formatting. All other formats (Postscript, plain text, HTML, RTF) are generated correctly. This problem is fixed in v1.37 of the stylesheets, but that revision introduces a different problem that badly affects the formatting. I am collaborating with the stylesheet author on a fix. I do not consider this to be a showstopper. Any objections?
