I'm willing to contribute new chapters/paragraphs aswell as improve old 
ones, so you can put me on that list.

Stefano, have you read my post? Again, I'm all for an online editing 
solution. To have a good document, a lot of small things will probably 
have to change. I just don't think an uploading system would encourage 
that. If someone (Jasper?) can point us into the direction of an (easy!) 
way to do this with DocBook, then that's a good alternative to look into.
Right now, there's no way to compare DocBook to MediaWiki, because the 
current DocBook system is obviously not acceptable anymore.

So someone needs to come up with an alternative way of editing the 
docbook xml's (preferably online, IMO). It's the only way to compare! Of 
course, other formats are welcome into the discussion aswell.
