[Firebird-docs] New potential doc writer

[Norman D. <No...@Bo...>]

Greetings,

I've signed up to this list.
I've got a SourceForge account all ready and waiting.
I've downloaded the manual CVS repository.
I've downloaded and practiced with XML Mind's editor - very nice !
I'm now hopefully ready to devote some spare time (of which I have very 
little) to writing docs for Firebird, and giving a little back to the 
project.

My initial thoughts are to do a book on the various commandline utilities 
supplied with Firebird (1.5) - you know, GBAK, GFIX etc etc.

Is this a good idea, useful etc ?

Quick question, and possibly a request for a new 'howto', how do I adapt 
the build.xml script to allow me to build my own standalone book before 
adding it into the Firebird set ? So far, I've been validating, spell 
checking and 'building' my test books from within XML MInd itself, but the 
Docbuilder how to states that the (new) docs must be able to be built 
correctly before submission.


Cheers,
Norman.
