What about collecting *requirements* first and after that
deciding what tool to use?

- do we want to convert the old documentation or rewrite
from scratch?
- how easy (if at all) can the old texts be converted into
the new format/system/tool/whatever?
- which output-formats do we want? Only html or pdf as well?,
any others? different output formats for special devices
like PDAs? ...
- what about graphics to include?
- I assume everybody here would prefer an open tool/format
- ... (do some brainstorming yourself)
