If I can't make it then I hope that Florian, Hogler, or Igor could
make it. Long term I think it is a better fit than wtp, but that
is my opinion.

David,
Your proposal sounds great. Vex is a great fit for Mylyn
Docs, and visa versa. Would you be able to join a Mylyn
conference call to discuss the particulars? If so please feel
free to add an item to the agenda and call in: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Meetings

I've talked briefly about this with a couple of Vex
committers. And Mik suggested I bring this up on the
mylyn-dev mailing list as well. I've copied the existing
Vex committers on this message as well. The Vex project is
a Visual Editor for XML documents. In particularl document
oriented XML files like DocBook, XHTML, DITA, etc. It can
be used to allow a WYSIWYG editing experience with out
having to know the underlying tags. DocBook is one of it's
main uses, and it also support DITA out of the box as well.
It uses CSS stylesheets to help control the rendering.
It fits in the same category as Mylyn WikiText editor, as
it allows for a Single Sourcing method to documentation.
The resulting files produced are strictly XML, and can be
checked into a source code control system, allowing multiple
people to collaborate on the files.
Vex has been a WTP Incubator project for several years, and
slowly has grown a dedicated committer base. The project
is shooting for a Spring graduation, but with the advent of
the new Mylyn top level project, and the overal scope of
Vex, I would suggest that the Documentation sub project
might actually be a better place for the Vex project itself.
It seems to fit more into the scope there, as we Web Tools
while it houses the XML projects, Vex itself is more about
enabling the collaboration and generation of documentation,
and the people that are typically interested in Vex are
those working on documentation or articles for publication
(i.e. news articles, books, etc).
Here are some relevant links:

The CI Build and FindBugs reports can be found on hudson:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/view/WTP/job/cbi-wtp-inc.vex/
There is a P2 update site that can be used to install the
latest versions as well, archived from the vex CI build.
