I don't, yet. My primary goal is to get to a point where we can
switch to naviserver internally. I'm still not there, so for me
there is more work to do.

I have no idea. We are using the server with our own templating 
framework based on tDOM but I do not think this is something 
of general interest.

We use only our own modules. But, generally speaking, a couple
of database drivers should be there (postgres, ... ?)

I'm already working on this. I'd opt to use Tcl doctools. It allows to
write good Tcl/C docs in a very simple POD-like format and it produces
nroff, html and wiki output (among others).  In some weeks I will have
a complete set of everything needed to start filling in content. There is
already content on AOL site and some on the wiki. It should be easy to 
cut/paste from there after the frwamework has been setup.

This is OK.
