I would be interested in this for sure. I have only used AsciiDoc and asciidoctor a little bit myself so far, but I am particularly interested in free/open source tools for S1000D. I typically author straight S1000D XML (with some help from some XML plugins for vim) but there's obvious benefits to authoring in a lightweight markup language.

I actually do a lot more of the reverse, S1000D-to-DocBook, to produce Markdown READMEs and manpages for a set of S1000D tools I'm working on. I use an XSLT script for the conversion to DocBook, and Pandoc for everything else.

More relevant is this XSLT script to convert DocBook-to-S1000D, but I haven't spent as much time on it. The original purpose of this was to write content in a lightweight markup language like AsciiDoc, use pandoc to convert it to DocBook, and then to S1000D.

I've been gathering whatever free tools/info I can find related to S1000D here.
