Hi,

attached is the first draft of transition guide for DocBook V5.0. If you 
would like to see rendered (albeit not yet very fancy) version go to:

http://kosek.cz/temp/dbng-howto.html
http://kosek.cz/temp/dbng-howto.pdf

Comments are more then welcome. I'm CC'ing Mike Smith because he has 
been using DocBook NG for a long period and can provide useful feedback 
and ideas.

I will really appreciate if some native speaker can do proofreading. Any 
volunteers?

Extensive section about customizations is missing, I might have time for 
finishing it during the next month.

During writing of this text I found two things that should be sorted out 
before we release the first alpha of DocBook V5.0.

* Draft of DocBook V5.0 specification points to address 
http://docbook.org/rng/ where schemas should be, but aren't.

* We should decide on locations where particular schemas (DTD, RNG, WXS) 
will be available and mention these locations in how-to.

I also started thinking about the best way to publish this how-to. 
Should we publish it as an TC outcome on OASIS site? Or on 
docbook.sf.net or docbook.org? Actually I would like to publish it 
somewhere where can I easily update it. Of course I can always publish 
it on my site, where I can easily modify it. I just like to know your 
opinions.

				Jirka
