Actually, what I was proposing is to make the actual submission in docbook
format, and maintain the docs in docbook format.  They can be made publicly
available in anything from html / txt to postscript.  I'd refer you to the
example of linuxdocs.org, for example.

Precisely.

I will contribute content on my pet topic - email, mailservers etc :)  Dont
know about the coordination ... whoever hosts the mirror had better do it
himself / herself, imho.
