> * More About FLOSS Manuals
> FLOSS Manuals is a collection of manuals that explain how to install and
> use a range of free and open source software. The manuals are friendly
> and simple, and they are intended to encourage people to explore the
> wide range of free, open source alternatives to expensive and
> restrictively licensed software. At FLOSS Manuals you can find manuals
> for free and open source software like office applications, as well as
> web editing and browsing, and tools for playing, making, streaming and
> sharing audio and video.
> 
> The manuals on FLOSS Manuals are written by a community of people, who
> do a variety of things to keep the manuals as up to date and accurate as
> possible. Anyone can contribute to a manual – to fix a spelling mistake,
> to add a more detailed explanation, to write a new chapter, or to start
> a whole new manual. The way in which FLOSS Manuals are written mirrors
> the way in which FLOSS (Free, libre open source) software itself is
> written: by a community who contribute to and maintain the content.
> 
> We prefer not to translate manuals but to work towards establishing
> FLOSS Manuals language communities. This gives a greater chance that the
> manuals will be maintained and updated on a regular basis.
