I'm not sure that docbook represents a significant barrier in this |
| 15 |
respect. It's hard to speculate. Maybe if we had a survey sampling the |
| 16 |
opinions of a broad spectrum of open-source developers, then we'd have |
| 17 |
more to go on. |

As it is, I'm fairly comfortable with docbook. Now you want me to learn |
| 20 |
a new format, with possible drawbacks, in order to try and draw in some |
| 21 |
contributions that may never happen? |
