Background

Sagehill.net's website is an independent center of information and services for DocBook publishing. The Sagehill.net website grew out of Bob Stayton's involvement with using DocBook for technical publishing. He needed some place to make available documents and software about DocBook so that others could gain from his experiences. Eventually those efforts grew into a business, Sagehill Enterprises.

It does that through a combination of open source and business activities.Open source activities include offering free software such as LiveDTD, participating regularly in the DocBook mailing lists, and contributing features and fixes to the open source DocBook XSL stylesheets.
