I see the http://www.leverkruid.eu/context/index.html page from Simon = Pepping. But it seems that this project is down. If ConTeXt provide an easy way for translate docbook to pdf file = (usable by a non (ie. not yet) ConTeXt user as dblatex is), I think poeple could = switch to ConTeXt only for that feature (not everybody have dependency with = LaTeX!) Then the problem would resume to find a good "yourPreferedWikiFormat" to docbook...
