Huh? Probably it's just me being dense...

This has caused quite some gripes back in the good ol' times. What about
using xinclude tricks to supply the content of one template document as
the source for yet-to-be written files? This approach is documented in
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ however I haven't had the time to
verify that it works with xsltproc yet.

We talked about this earlier and seemed to have agreed that this is a
nice idea. :)

I don't think it makes sense to have formal assignments of specific
topics as this would take away most of the fun a volunteers project
should make.
