I haven't seen the IRC discussion, but I would raise a note of caution 
on the point of DocBook and LaTeX.  I like LaTeX and I would still be 
hesitant to use it in this type of situation.  Anyone can throw together
some docs in MoinMoin with a few minutes work.  Even someone familiar
with LaTeX is going to have to invest considerably more time in putting
together documentation.

The more work you require to create and update the documentation, the
less documentation you're going to get.  :-)
