We've been working on the layouts today, and managed to get quite somewhere.

The Relevantive guys have kindly taken over from where I got to with it today, 
(cue grateful thanks!) to finish it up.

Early draft is here:
http://people.fruitsalad.org/lauri/igs/

Since I'm sending this to an audience of inveterate nitpickers, could we 
please not nitpick *that* design just yet, it's still in the formative 
stages, a non layout if you will.   At this point it's just proof of concept 
that docbook is an appropriate source format, and that we can do fancy html 
stuff with it that is still accessible.

The target is this:
http://people.fruitsalad.org/lauri/stuff/hig.png - [1] obviously there is 
still massaging of css and other prettification to be done to get to this 
point.

The above html pages however, do work fairly well already, and read quite well 
in a text-only browser too.  This is by far the hardest part, generating 
static, printable and "all the content" pages will be much simpler, so we 
started here.

[1] This is the design Jan showed us last week at akademy, I forgot his url, 
so I reposted it on my own website.  I need a memory upgrade apparently.
