Re: [OLPC library] OLPC Manual, Help activity v.8
congrats all! Seth, can you make sure the following is in the Introduction to the manual: h2About this Manual/h2 pThis manual was produced in FLOSS Manuals ( a href='http://www.flossmanuals.net'http://www.flossmanuals.net/a ). /p p This documentation is a result of a collaborative effort. Much of the material was written at a 1 week Book Sprint held in Austin Texas (Sept 2008) and managed by Adam Hyde (FLOSS Manuals) and Anne Gentle (FLOSS Manuals / Just Write Click). Participating on site at the Book Sprint were Walter Bender (Sugar), David Farning (Sugar), Adam Holt (OLPC), Brian Jordan (OLPC) Mikus Grinbergs, Janet Swisher (janetswisher.com), David Cramer (Motive), Anne Gentle and Adam Hyde. There were also many remote contributions (please see the credits on each page for details). /p p The venue was provided by Motive Inc and the event was funded by individual donations including substantial contributions from David Farning, RedHat, OLPC, and FLOSS Manuals. /p p This community documentation effort started its life as a project with Val Scarlata's students at Illinois Institute of Technology and was eventually moved to a href='http://www.wiki.laptop.org'wiki.laptop.org/a. Much of the community writing brought into FLOSS Manuals was completed by Todd Kelsey, Emily Kaplan, Anne Gentle, Adam Hyde, with editing work from Kelly Holcomb. Translations on the a href='http://www.wiki.laptop.org'wiki.laptop.org/a copies were thanks to some time-intense translation support, coordinations, and introductions by Greg DeKoenigsberg and Micheal Cooper. /pp The documentation is in continual development. To contribute to the documents, buy a book, or to check for updates please visit the FLOSS Manuals website. /p pThis documentation is free (licensed under the GPL). Please copy, change, and share freely. /p p[image - attached 200.gif] /p pFree Manuals for Free Software/p On Mon, 2008-09-22 at 20:32 -0400, Seth Woodworth wrote: http://dev.laptop.org/~seth/Help-8.xo Version 8 people! You've been amazing. The volunteers that are cleaning up the documentation are working really hard. I've refreshed and exported another version of the help activity today and it's going to be included in the next pre-release build for 8.2: os8.2-761. This build will be created sometime early tomorrow. It's very possible that this will be our final release for G1G1. But remember everyone, the activity can be updated via the activity-updator if people can only get online. I can't be sure if I will be allowed another revision after this, but I'm going to act is if I can and continue working on the manual.

Ah, that was just me being lazy... I put at the end of my last email:
