Open Source Documentation

Filed under: Remainder,Tech Writer — Jason Coleman @ 3:51 pm

This is very humbling to me. Last week, at the DocTrain West conference, 25 writers produced a manual for FireFox in just two days as part of the FLOSS Manuals project. The manual is freely available online and is distributed in a Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license. You can purchase a print-on-demand copy of the manual from LuLu as well, which helps to support the FLOSS project. So a special thanks to all those folks who spent some time indoors (when they could have been enjoying Palm Springs) to help the open source community. I’ve already sent a link to the manual to my mom, who uses FireFox on her mac!
