educational material, but I thought that it might be related to the work of the
Marketing Committee, and eventually the OSGeo Journal, so I added this message
to all three (3) lists.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

simple converter that moves OSGeo educational material from Docbook to HTML. I’d
specifically like to start testing a documentation tool chain with this
converter for the English Free GIS Book and the Starter Dictionary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

12.0pt;font-family:"Arial Narrow"'>I’m fairly handy with CSS and HTML,
but I was hoping to get some direction for the creation of the style sheets. Do
we have an OSGeo color scheme somewhere? Does the OSGeo have a preferred font
family for online documentation? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sheets up so they could be used in other OSGeo online documentation, and
especially for other projects coming from the education committee. It would
also be great to see the same style sheets used for online versions of OSGeo
Journal articles, if we ever get around to building a web presence for the
Journal.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
