Hello, After seeing a picture of a french lizzard on your blog a couple of months ago I begun to think about letting your hear about a somewhat unexpected use of your Website Docbook DTD. Now that you're writing about frogs and frog songs, I think it's time : http://bufo.alsace.free.fr/index.html.

Even if it's in french, there is a lot to see and to hear (e.g. http://bufo.alsace.free.fr/especes/Alytes_obstetricans.html) on these few pages.

Yes it is Docbook, with footnotes in tables, bibliography entries. I guess <audiodata> is not the most popular tag in technical documentation, but it is used here extensively. This site has been on the web for 3 years now. The collection of amphibian recordings is almost complete. I would have enjoyed including the distribution maps as SVG files but my skills are too limited to figure out how to do it.

I have chosen Docbook as a website framework because I had some experience with technical documentation using Docbook at my office. I am quite happy with the result. The major problem I see with this technology is that writing pages requires some background in computer science. And my colleagues are herpetologists, not hackers. So coupling theses pages with a wiki might be a good idea.

Best regards from Strasbourg, France

Very cool, Guillaume!
