	Docupage

For free software projects, the processes of generating and converting documentation, packaging releases, and creating announcements differ only in minor details. Yet each project replicates this machinery; or worse lacks it.

Version numbers and release dates occur in so many places, that it is rare for all of them to be correctly updated in a large project release. Changes in operation of document formating tools can require that Makefiles in every project directory be modified.

Docupage unifies and encapsulates these processes. Literate programs (incorporating document source) and document source files are managed and combined to produce plaintext, PostScript, HTML, Info, and PDF format outputs through one mechanism. Project (WWW) home pages are automatically updated in synchrony with software releases.

Docupage as conceived does not yet exist. What follows are translation, literate programming, and release tools created so far.
