[FM Discuss] [Fwd: Re: css help]

Hi, Adam -

Yes - I do remember you saying that the FM site would eventually be 
deprecated by Booki - I can't remember where or when at this point, but 
I do remember. So many conversation streams!

I think that is why I thought they SHOULD be the same (just plug in 
another user's stylesheet in Booki-land, and voilà, instant style), but 
clearly they NOT be the same since that would indeed be confusing. Folks 
would be interchanging CSS themes willy-nilly and chaos would rule the land.

I think you will need a tutorial explaining the importance of designing 
unique book templates - to distinguish your book from others.

Sounds like another challenge!

hey Rebecca,


Booki and FM will soon be the same  :)  that is, all FM content will be
_in_  Booki (we will migrate it soon) so the structure of the content
will be the same and methods for exporting etc will be the same. 

however FM books will not look like they do in Booki. 

Booki is the content development site. However books in the Booki group
called "FLOSS Manuals" (and perhaps others) will be pulled to the FLOSS
Manuals website and they will use the templating system I described
before to retain the look and feel of the current FM site.

Think of it like this:
1. Booki - content development for any type of content
2. FM - free manuals about free software
