Mark: THANK YOU!
Before finding these packages, I hunted all over for various
packages which contained the DocBook DTD, the SGMLtools files, jade, other
stuff from Oasis, and even some custom in-house stuff from
O'Reilly&Associates. Finding these packages was a godsend--not to mention
the tutorial (I'm a newbie at this).
These packages are already linked from the
http://developer.gnome.org , and now it looks like they will become the
"standard" packages for the KDE team. Also, I will tell my editor at
O'Reilly about this and they're likely to become the defacto for O'Reilly
authors who want to write in SGML/DocBook.
In case it's still not clear: the work Mark is doing is incredibly
important and will become even moreso as more people start to write Gnome,
KDE, and O'Reilly documentation in SGML format.

If it's not inappropriate to ask... what's the "rocket scientist"
project? Something cool Mark can talk about?
