ANNOUNCE: introducing template-docset discussion list

[Stas Bekman <st...@stason.org>]

You are probably familiar with the docset concept as its final product, 
if you saw the mod_perl guide and or the template toolkit documentation. 
The two try to make a system for converting a potentially huge set of 
documents in different source formats (POD, XML, HTML...) into nicely 
linked HTML set (with navigation menus and stuff), PS/PDF book, and 
other formats. Andy's system uses templates driven logic, mine is code 
driven. Otherwise the two use template toolkit templates for rendering 
the final output.

What we are interested in is working on defining the spec for the docset 
building system, integration and generalization/abstraction of our 
systems (and yours if you join the discussion) with the final goal of 
having a code set for documentation publishing using various source 
formats and rendering various output formats.

Welcome to the template-docset mailing list.

Stas Bekman and I were discussing ideas for creating documentation sets
using Template Toolkit, XML, POD, and various other interesting 
technologies.

We created this list as a public forum for further discussion.
