The LDP is talking about whether to set up our own

know what will come of it yet. I asked whether they're interested in
using Wikipedia, but I suspect we need real-time updates and stuff
like that, so it wouldn't work very well. Let me know how you feel
about this though. We're still discussing it ourselves.
We have decided not to use *any* wiki software. However, I am still
basing my text format on the Wikipedia format. So if at any time you
want a utility to convert that into DocBook, it's in the LDP cvs all
ready and waiting for you. :-)

My father, the Padishah Emperor, took me by the hand one day and I sensed
in the ways my mother had taught me that he was disturbed. He led me down
the Hall of Portraits to the ego-likeness of the Duke Leto Atreides. I
marked the strong resemblence between them -- my father and this man in
the portrait -- both with thin, elegant faces and sharp features dominated
by cold eyes. "Princess-daughter," my father said, "I would that you'd
been older when it came time for this man to choose a woman." My father
was 71 at the time and looking no older than the man in the portrait, and
I was but 14, yet I remember deducing in that instant that my father
secretly wished the Duke had been his son, and disliked the political
necessities that made them enemies.
