There were quite a lot of responses about V2 documentation format. The one
thing everybody agreed, is that Zbynek's version of current docs looks very
nice.

As for format, Christopher said that DocBook conversion should not be very
hard. So, DocBook and ReST are the alternatives now.

While I agree and ReST source is much nicer, I'd still rather stuck with the
most widespread solution. I know that DocBook is used by lots. Examples, such
as

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/
http://scarab-gen.tigris.org/scarab-admin/

look quite reasonable and PDF output looks reasonable, too. As for ReST, I'm
concerned that it might have limitations we're not aware of now.

So, let's go with DocBook?

Christopher, you had volunteered to convert docs to DocBook while retaining
look of Zbynek's version. I'd very much appreciate if you do that!

Thanks,
Volodya
