hey

just a question about the content - as i see it there is no information
about free software but just reference to closed apps like opera and the
iphone...and platforms like twitter, gmail etc

in otherwords it doesnt seem to me to be about free software....or have
i missed something?

just for clarities sake - while fm values all the freedoms we are
focused on those connected to software...if a book is not substantially
about free software then this is not really the place for it...there is
www.booki.cc which might be a better choice

We love your manuals and would be honored to be in EthanZs and the various author's company :)   We would love to add to a whole section on mobile security (I also just created a group( as we publish more content and tools (see, for example:  http://lab.safermobile.org/wiki/InTheClear#Supported_Devices) , though written content will likely be in a number of different places in various languages to increase dissemination.

We just put in the flossmanuals this: http://booki.flossmanuals.net/mobile-security-risks-for-activists/edit/  and are hoping to publish how-tos on a series on floss apps (java/feature phones and smart phones) that we are building and collaborating on as part of a project called SaferMobile.

Can I delete this and republish or overwrite it or what is the process?
