I still think we need something simpler than docbook.

Suggestions?

I don't think the problem lies in docbook itself, but more in the lack
of docbook [wysiwyg] GUIs to create and maintain the doc.

docbook is powerful at generating different output format, and since
it's in xml/sgml (so text based), it's svn compliant and is a somewhat
open standard.

Other solution I've seen are Tex, html or proprietary. So even less
friendly / maintainable.

but IANADW (I Am Not A Doc Writer)... so a more knowledgeable people
might have better ideas.
