Sure it doesn't have to be the same group.

I do not have a complete suggestion. The whole thread comes from end-user
feedback who cannot understand the whole set of spec and components needed
to process DocBook. It seems that having an integrated environment where
a complete set of tools is glued together to simplify those issues is
a software project which could help DocBook deployment to non-technical
people a lot. This could cross a lot of things:
- wrapper tools around existing low level processing tools
- editing support ((X)Emacs/OpenOffice/... components)
One example familiar to this community could be the Gutemberg LaTeX
releases which where testing and packaging a common set of tools
around the basic TeX/LaTeX environment. IIRC this helped a lot of
people who had to install a complete and working LaTeX environment.
