7/2     What are some XML DTDs/schemas for writing technical documentation?
        We have standardized on HTML for documentation at my company
        and I am tired of having to do everything by hand. (proper number
        formatting mostly. Nested <ol>s just aren't good enough) Ideally,
        I'd like to write an XML document and have an XSLT script
        generate the HTML for me. DocBook looks interesting but heavyweight.
        \_ Sun uses SolBook, which is a slimmed down subset of DocBook.
           The OpenGroup uses DocBook for the official UNIX standards.
        \_ My former employer used DocBook... from my experience and what
           I heard, it seemed to work fairly well.
        \_ what is wrong with Latex?
           \_ Nothing is wrong with LaTeX. I used it extensively when
              I worked in academia.
              I worked in academia and was quite happy with the results.
              But LaTeX isn't something that I'd want to standardize
              on in our corporate setting.
              \_ why not? it's too difficult to parse? the machinery behind
                 it is poor? it's too low level?
        \_ You could use Texinfo and Texi2html.

4/8     What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
        track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
        simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,
        for-profit companies are adding. I might even be willing to pay.
        Recommendations?
