Doc Book is fine for tech people that can understand and value the benefits of the open nature it promotes. But at the risk of starting a flame war, is there a good editor that provides a WYSIWYG environment for editing the documents?
We have a very common environment of mixed levels of technical expertise. MS-Word is the standard that everyone has, and everyone can use. Currently it is the dictated standard for internal documentation within R&D. The only way to get something in to replace it, is to provide a UI which is at least close to its simplicity of use
While the Perfect Baby is arguably a potential danger. Another very serious threat exists. This is also a step in the direction of the ability to develop genetically targetted biological warfare.
Suppose you find genes that are common in a race that you don't approve of, but not in your own. What about engineering something that attacks those genes.
This could soon be moving from the world of science fiction into reality. But it is also not a reason to stop genetic research. In fact it is a reason to do more of it. Because if we stop the research, someone else will continue it.

Seems like something worthy of another petition to the Whitehouse, like this one for cell phone unlocking

Put some grass-roots web development and marketing work behind it, and you might get noticed.

Any solutions out there for DocBook?
