Fwd: Add wiki pages for worked examples of sample documents?

I would very much appreciate a wiki with pages on several rendition 
strategies / technologies. When I once tried Speedata, I didn't get very 
far, but if there's a wiki where I could compare the approaches of XSL-FO 
and Speedata, I imagine it might be easier to check out this or that 
strategy.

Best regards,
Kai Weber

Předmět: Add wiki pages for worked examples of sample documents?

"Harking back to the discussion of having a 'cook-off' at the PPL CG's
session [1] at XML Prague 2014, and Liam's comment [3]:

If people will learn useful things from it then it sounds
like it might be useful in and of its own right...

I presented XSL-FO and CSS renditions of the first page of the First Folio
edition of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' from TEI and XHTML markup in one
of my other presentations [5], and Patrick ran up a speedata rendition at
short notice [4] that I also showed, so it seems to me that it would be
useful to put some or all of those on separate wiki pages each with a
discussion of their approach, trade-offs, and successes as a starter-set
for an eventual collection of worked sample documents where people might
learn useful things, though to do it properly it also seems to me that we
would also want a GitHub (or similar) repository where people can also get
the various flavours of code. [6]

What do people think?

Doing 'Julius Caesar' was largely because I had XSL-FO renditions from TEI
and XHTML (and DocBook and DITA) lying around already (though both Liam
and I made reference to a speech from it). What else would make a
suitable candidate for this sort of treatment?

Regards,


Tony.
