7 Templates seem a bit . . . hackish. Mostly we also need documentation writers to
8 be/who are comfortable with working with the XML code itself, tags and all.
9 WYSIWYG editors just don't strike me as a good idea for working on docs. Plus
10 someone would have to make extensions to it every time another feature or three
11 is added to GuideXML, like neysx's recent code highlights.

13 As long as users can use a plain text editor (gedit, leafpad, mousepad,
14 bluefish, etc.), all they have to do (besides validating it with xmllint before
15 committing) is run it through YosWink's repodoc [1], a thorough GuideXML QA checker.
16
17 No need for big heavy editors like OOo and lots of extra plugins/templates/etc. :)

19 Still, if this gets off the ground, I'll give it a test drive. I'm not big on
20 WYSIWYG, but I'll try it out.
