The relevance of the workshops and conference depend mostly on what James has planned for the UniBook back-end. James, are you planning to implement TEI / XSL / FO?
TEI will be implemented as an input/output format, yes. It will have nothing to do with the internal workings of the system. XSL isn't needed - the application doesn't rely on transformations of any kind.
(Actually, any info about UniBook would be really useful to me, as I've started to think about the site front-end, but can't go very far unless I know what the back-end looks like.)
I'm still working on the tech docs -- the 6 pages of docs that we put on the wiki took me almost two weeks -- tech docs are going to be about 6 pages - per section!
At work, I'm doing a DocBook XSL implementation right now. The issues are similar enough that I might be able to swing a seminar and conference attendance on the company's tab. (DocBook is like TEI, only it's optimized for generating printed reference books.)
My demo app (on ibiblio) has an experimental docbook output... when it comes time, I know who I'm going to ask for help to implement that module. :-)
Too bad we don't have a little pot of money we could use to send people to events like these. Can I hope (request) that getting our non-profit status established is on the agenda for the upcoming meeting in Toronto?
