I release/am working on an open-source project called bookshop which is a RubyGem that installs a complete Docbook-XSL pipeline/toolchain. It includes everything needed to create and edit Docbook source files and output differing formats (currently pdf and epub, and growing quickly).
My goal is to make it possible to go from Zero-to-Exporting(pdf's or whatever) from your Docbook source in under 10 minutes.
The Summary:
bookShop is an OSS ruby-based framework for docbook toolchain happiness and sustainable productivity. The framework is optimized to help developers quickly ramp-up, allowing them to more rapidly jump in and develop their DocBook-to-Output flows, by favoring convention over configuration, setting them up with best practices, standards and tools from the get-go.
Here's the gem location: https://rubygems.org/gems/bookshop
