Its available at: http://beaconeditor.org/ Mind you there is nothing much there, expect more in the coming week. We have been hard at work to get this in shape for _quite_ sometime (as many folks at Gentoo might have known). The development on this project has been incremental, a few times a year. Though its picking up momentum now. For now you can see the Docbook Plugin (At the demo link) more or less fully functional. GuideXML will be done in couple of days as well. The aim to setup a project homepage is to give a much needed user feedback and branded exposure to the project. There is a Trac setup there that needs some sprucing up. Mailing lists inbound as well. Hopefully with the rising needs of Gentoo and to make it possible to stay with the existing setup (and not have to edit the XML) this project can gain the traction. FWIW, this project is at your disposal. Kind Regards Nandeep
