That process is rather complicated. Presently it's confusing and a pain 
to get new documents in. I have 2 documents for fedora which I'm hosting 
locally because converting to wiki and docbook is a pain. I'm not going 
to maintain 2 copies of 2 books. Can we have a documentation folder for 
pdf or html documents, developed with publican?

Something like the way gentoo.org does their documentation. XML single 
source, updates to an svn repository, then nightly builds from the svn 
repository for the website. Wiki to docbook to wiki is silly and a 
massive barrier to entry.
