This is a good time as we are coming out of administrative and technical hibernation! More on that later but first a quick tech update. We migrated backend content of books to write.flossmanuals.net which is running a Booktype 1.6 code, which I think is here. https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype/releases/tag/v1.6.1 The front end - a publisher which fetches the pages from the repo and creates a web table of contexts and snapshot versions of epub, pdf - is an outdated php version of bookipublisher which is unmaintained and has needed replacing for some time. So this site is now static. So there's greater urgency. There is a django project underway to replace it here. https://bitbucket.org/fmsite/fm_site Let me know if you want access Josh and I'll get that to you. Unfortunately this project was more complex that we had anticipated, and me and Jo have both started new families. Which is great for us but has meant that we are stalled for this FM. Nicolas from French FM is also working on it. I've recently proposed on the FM admin list to create a static html front end which lists all active manuals and looks nice. And we link to pages like this one for csound, which is the live version on the write site. http://write.flossmanuals.net/csound/preface/ I think is a good first start as a way of overcoming the stalled publishing workflow. If you are interested in helping the process, let me know and I'll add you to our admin email list (in the cc) nice one Mick On 10/09/16 09:46, mark wrote: > Hi all, > > A friend of mine called Josh has offered to help with technical work > on flossmanuals.net.

I've been doing some work on a simple FM splash page to link to manuals in the new repository. It's a work in progress here http://splash.flossmanuals.net/ and on gitlab here - https://gitlab.com/mickfuzz/fm_en_splash I'm looking for help to finish the adding the text details and creating images for the books too and advice on the following. This is especially true if you are linked to a manual. What should the short description, keywords and image be? This page introduces a way of filtering manuals by broad category, and beyond Video, Graphics and Audio, I'm not sure how to best categorise the other manuals in a very simple way so that there is only a handful of options. Any advice would be great! I'm thinking of resorting to big catch alls like "Internet", or "Communication".
