Well, actually I chose the name Wyona just because I think it's a 
beautiful name. But your remark Mynona is interesting as well.
The acronym "why-own-a CMS .." (as Alex is mentioning) was created by
Jonathan and I would have never thought of such a nice acronym by myself.

yes

But the problem is that we have not really started yet with the 
publication "Documentation". On the other hand we will very soon 
(probably this Thurday).
Wyona will help you to author documentation, publish and keep your
documentation within a specific structure.
But we have to make a few decisions first:

1) What Schema shall we use: DocBook, DITA, Stylebook/xdoc ?
2) What is the Information Structure of the documentation (Navigation, etc.)

You could help us a lot by sending some concrete examples of yours!

Thanks
