Hi Sean, Per, Falko ...

Check out Docbook prototype thread which uses XML and the Java tools
(ant, xalan, xerces, Fop) which is much more closely aligned with the
tool set used in Ozone.
SGML uses the DSSSL stylesheet and Jade for transformation etc. The
supplied prototype uses all Java tools and XML for docbook - let me know
if it works - I can't test it on windows either.

There are several threads on the list where Falko and other knowledgable
people have given excellent commentaries on how transactions,
clustering, persistence and other things work in ozone. I pasted some of
these in the ozone.xml docbook sample in the prototype which could
server as a starting point for the developer guide.

I'd like to do this one - if no one objects - and I thought I'd start
with the existing documentation and go from there.

3) admin
performance, clustering params, VM args and analysis, backup, recovery
etc.
