You can view it with the Webinterface there: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/pactivehandbook/code/ In trunk you will find the 
subfolders en and de.
After accessing an language folder you have three folders: bin, images and 
xml. All files under xml which ends on *.xml are written in Docbook 4.5.

The used XSLT Stylesheets (for building the sources) are in another 
repository.

I'm using for building PDF, EPUB and HTML the daps suite 
(http://daps.sourceforge.net/).

Actually i had set up some nice tools in Sourceforge like Projectpage (for 
Mainpage and hosting HTML version of the book), ticketsystem and mailing list. 
Also i've written some scripts for automatically building and publishing the 
book. So Sourceforge is for now the best solution.
