[FM Discuss] starting a manual ...

[helen varley jamieson]

hi,
i am finally gearing up to create 2 UpStage manuals (a users' manual & 
an installation guide). i registered on FM, signed in no problem & have 
created the first manual (empty shell) but before i get started on the 
work i have a couple of general questions.

does a manual have to be part of a "group" to appear in the list of all 
manuals? if so, i think i'm going to have to create a new group because 
UpStage doesn't fit into any of the existing groups. something like 
"online art & performance" maybe, to encompass things other than UpStage 
that will undoubtedly come along? any other ideas? (if you don't know 
what UpStage is, please go to http://www.upstage.org.nz)

when i registered on the FM site a couple of days ago, i found & browsed 
the booki user guide; but today i could not find the booki user guide 
anywhere ... i searched the FM site to no avail. there is not even a 
link to a booki manual on the list of all manuals ... eventually i got 
the idea to go to the booki site, & found the user guide. it would be 
helpful if this could be clearly linked to from the FM editing interface.

on the booki site, i found a list of groups that is different to the 
list of FM groups, & i guess this is because FM is specifically for 
FLOSS whereas books on booki can be about anything. but, if i make a 
manual on FM can it then be imported into &/or linked to from the booki 
site, & vice versa? (apologies if these questions have already been 
addressed & i've missed the discussion.)

happy new year,
h : )
