Hello All!

I am completely new to the docbook schema but I think it is a great schema. I am interested in knowing if anyone has used to write large proposals for business opportunities (government or commercial). Any tools used, experience, or suggestions?

Also, I am looking for ways to use docbook as a means to somehow provide organization to my proposals when one proposal is being written by many authors. For example, let's say I have 1 proposal that I am managing and and are 5 authors writing their piece of the proposal. These authors usually will be writing in MS Word (but the final production will be by some other means). How can I use docbook so that the 5 authors (maybe more) can provide the same style of organizations to their write-ups (using MS Word)? Whatis is the best way to combine these separate docs for production and what is the best way to produce the final proposal for print. Any assistance will be appreciated!!! Thanks!
