Hi Paolo,

I guess 2.0 is more realistic. There is some convert tools, but it will still
be much work to migrate all styles or if that is not possible, to create a
new nice looking manual. The speed depends on the number of people working
on it. At the moment we don't have too many people writing or working on the
documentation, that's why I think it will take a little longer.
