status of the project

yes, I'm confused on the status also. Is this entry a proposal for a module?

I am working with several FOSS Communities who are interested in DocBook for their documentation efforts and Drupal for their community pulmbing.
As these continue to converge, the need to take DocBooks on roundtrips through Drupal becomes more and more interesting to me. I'm bumping the question of the status of the project.

Here is my current thinking on why Book Import/Export w/ Docbook module makes sense to me:

I do not think that an XSL transform directly to Drupal makes sense. There should be an XSLT step that has special knowledge of Drupal structure. The resulting output would then be fed to a Drupal module that creates the internal structures Drupal expects (book nodes?). I think the general notion will operate similarly to Steve Ball's roundtrip which takes attempts to sync MS Word and DocBook. The advantage with Drupal is we have a greater level of control and might be able to use a wider subset of the DocBook spec than roundtrip is able to.

I have a use for this module, or a modification of it. The project I am working on is committed to Drupal 6, and this module appears to be only Drupal 5. It also looks like only the export stuff is written, not the import.

I am considering devoting time to getting this working for myself, but my project also has other specialized needs, I could also write a custom module to do everything.

One of the features I would probably add is texinfo format export and import. Many software projects use this as the documentation format, so this might be useful to others as well.

Is anyone currently working on this module ?
