Yes, this is one of the problems. In general, for the rest of DocBookWiki I know how it should work, although it may not be implemented yet or may have bugs. However, I havn't decided yet about how to handle the images. One way is to handle them in a special way, and another way is to handle them in a similar way to the rest of the document. I prefer the second one. I am trying to describe how it should work. When an image is uploaded, it is saved in a directory which is local to the current section, which is called 'img/' or something similar. It is also added in SVN, but is not committed. So it is displayed in the preview of the working copy, but is not shown yet in the public copy. When you approve the changes of the section, there is also a separate section which displays the changes in images (added/deleted/ modified image). When the changes are committed, images are committed as well and are updated in the public copy. Then it has also to be solved how to display these images in the generated formats (PDF, RTF, HTML, etc.) What Jeremy says is true as well, the quality of the generated formats is not so good, and this is something to be improved. The problem is with the tools that are used to generate the other formats (e.g. `docbook2pdf` and `xmlto pdf`). A better way would be to convert the XML/DocBook format to LaTeX format, and then convert LaTeX format to PDF and other formats. This can produce better documents because XML/DocBook itself contains only the structure and content of the document, but has no info about how to display it; on the other hand LaTeX can also contain some info about the display (e.g. fonts etc.).
