Thank you. I am happy I could join your team.
I try to contribute my knowledge and time to make maven
plugins better.

Let me introduce myself.

I live in Poland and work as a professional software developer
for more than 10 years.
Apart from my work I participate also to a few Open Source projects.
The main is GeoTools and others were created to generalize some
ideas which were born during GeoTools development.

Generic Guides try to develop and implement idea of framework for
documentation. Primary this is to be software project documentation but
not only.

The last our concern we try to work out is modular documentation.
The idea is to build documentation from pieces. Chosen format
is Simplified DocBook and we join parts in one document with use of
xinclude markup.
We have some command line tools to process it but, we use maven
for project management so it is necessary for us to be able generate
documentation also with maven.

I have idea how to do it - I can generate documentation with java tools:
xalan or saxon and I would like to add this feature to maven-sdocbook-plugin.

I have also great experience with Linux, C, Java, XML, internet protocols
like HTTP, FTP and so on...., networking both LAN and WAN, 
so I hope I can participate to this project not only with code I will
create but also with my knowledge.

Artur
