RUP DocBook Templates
For the Rational Unified Process a lot of document templates are available. Unfortunately they are available as MS Word templates only. This puts people who do not own a copy of MS Office (e.g. OpenOffice.org users) in a disadvantage. The import facilities of OpenOffice are good but not always adequate enough.
I also think that files that should be traceable should be kept in a Version Control System. MS Word documents, binary as they are, are not well suited for this. And the third reason: MS Word files are not really easily convertible to other formats, e.g. HTML for online publishing.
Therefore I converted them to the DocBook format, which I think takes away all the objections regarding the MS Word files as I mentioned them. You can find the page with the templates here.

Hi Niel,
I’m Jitesh and I work with Packt Publishing.
I happen to come across your website while looking for potential reviewers for our title: Yii 1.1 Application Development Cookbook.
I read a few articles on Yii here, and I believe you’d be a great reviewer for this book. Your opinion and feedback would definitely help our readers get a clear understanding of what they can expect from this book — its content, language etc.
I’d be happy to give you an e-copy of the book in this regard.
Do share on your thoughts on this!
Regards :)
