If you name this one "DocBook Tools it will be the third maintained DocBook Tools. Whatever you might think, Mark is still maintaining DBTools unless he states otherwise. Another fellow has written a version for Suse and is using the name, and now you are planning to make changes and use the name. This is just going to cause *great* confusion for the *nix users who want good tools. 'Just grab DocBook Tools' "WHICH ONE!!!" Please consider renaming it unless Mark gives you maintainer or contributor status! Don't misunderstand me either - I say the more tools we have *the better*! In fact, I'd like to see more tools for XML (that aren't java) for the simple reason that once DocBook hits 5.0 it will only be XML.
