Hi,
I was planning to do this before the next university semester starts, but
now I got this idea about very short collaborative manual update sessions,
which means that the manual would be needed right now... Let me see, it
might take a while before I manage to write anything about this.
The style guide section is very hard to do, I still haven't found a style
guide like Read Me First in Finnish, so I don't know what could be used as
a reference. And some kind of a style guide is really needed in an academic
setting, although in some other cases it would be better to just ignore it.
I really should ask about this from the Institute for the Languages of
Finland.
It really is the Institute for the Languages... "FLOSS Manuals Finland"
should be in Swedish as well, which means that it should be defined
carefully as "Finnish language FLOSS Manuals". Although it would be really
interesting to start a Swedish language section before somebody in Sweden
starts an FM localization. ;)
Regards
Tomi
