So, how do I import a manual from FM? Booki has "Import from Archive.org" and "Import .epub". (Sorry to keep pelting questions at you, but these procedures are all new to me. ;) )

http://www.booki.cc/booki-dev-guide/importing-a-book/
doesn't have the ePub section yet.

I've just created an "i18n" group, for internationalization issues and translators in general. I'd like to get my teeth into a translation, though. I've started XO_vi: how would I import that into Booki?

Issue trackers, at least, are not new to me. ;)

(Heh, clicking on "People" brought up a template error. /me -> issue tracker ... already logged as #147.)
