[FM Discuss] request to start new manual for Mifos

[Anne Gentle]

Hi Adam - and welcome! I've created a new manual at:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Mifos/WebHome

The only chapter so far is the Introduction, but you should be able to
Create a new chapter by entering a name in the Chapter name field. Once you
get a few chapters, use the "Arrange Manual Index" link to set the order for
the chapters.

Feel free to mail the list if you get stuck. I love the idea of applying
open source tech to microfinance - best to you and the writers.

Anne
