hmm. i don't have much experience with docbook tools, but i am able to build 
the docs in pyblosoxm svn. which versions of openjade and htmldoc are you 
using? (i'm on ubuntu dapper, with openjade 1.4 and htmldoc 1.8.24.)

interesting. you can definitely add this to your story template, but it's not 
a bad idea to include it by default. i've done this. will, etc, holler if you 
disagree.

definitely! any of the sourceforge site admins - will, me, ted, wari - can cut 
a release, and we'd be happy to consider adding more. in practice, it's a 
small project, and will is the lead, so he sets the project's direction and 
tone, and he decides what and when to release.

if he ever decides to move on, i'm sure he'll find a new lead to entrust the 
project to before he leaves.
