I wrote that because the thread mainly focused on whether to use docbook,
man, pod, info etc...
If it is planned to use docbook i'm very happy about it as that would
make it very easy for me to get my info page...

Sorry, if my cited sentence lead you to the conclusion i want to
discuss the matter of the official documentation format. Just forget it
as it was never writte... :) I just wanted to find maybe some
co-workers and a place to put ( i will submit on savannah when others
are interested in helping)
That was the reason i send that mail to "Fvwm Users" and not to
Workers...
