Documentation in docbook

[Pradeep Padala]

Hi,
   Around mid-summer last year, I thought of converting all the ncurses
documentation including man pages into docbook. In the process, I wrote
patches to tidy and doclifter and was able to convert the html docs and
man pages to docbook.
  The sgml generated from man pages had some problems the last time I
looked at it (8 months ago). The new doclifter might create better sgml.
But I do not have time to look into it. So I removed the man page sgml
from the documentation package I was creating.
  Currently the package has the following documents in docbook SGML

NCurses Programming HOWTO
Introduction to (N) Curses Programming
A hackers guide to NCurses

  I have generated html and pdf documents from the docbook source. You can
look at the generated files at

http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/ncdoc/html/

  The whole package with assorted utilities, Makefile, programs
(referenced in the HOWTO) is at

http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/ncdoc/ncdoc.tar.gz

  Is it possible to include this stuff into standard distribution? I
can maintain the docbook related things and ofcourse my HOWTO.
