FLOSS Manuals

A recent discovery of ours, FLOSS Manuals is a website dedicated to creating open source manuals for open source software. Or in their words ''a collection of manuals about free and open source software together with the tools used to create them and the community that uses those tools''.

The manuals on the website range from things as simple as using firefox and blogging websites to complex guides on how to use 3-d software, stream live over the internet or translate video subtitles, amongst other things. From what we can tell the project is funded by hard copies of the manuals that can be purchased from the website.

Also fascinating is the process by which the manuals are written- In what the website describes as 'Book Sprints'-''collaborative authoring in a short time (one week) with the express goal of having a publishable book at the end''.

Awesome stuff. Check back in the next few days for pictures of the first Modular living structures from one of our labs.
