As you suggested, I subscribed to Firebird-docs. I'm willing to help, but I must admit this is an approach to writting that I never used before. Just 2 simple questions: 1. Is there any global TOC so that we can pick up a subject from what is missing? 2. Would you agree if I tried to write a simple test text and send it to you or someone else just to check if I understood the way of working with docbook? (I never used it before).
