ok..so i have too much time in my hands...i was pondering the things we
do in FLOSS Manuals in abstract and thought we could almost come up kind
of short (shudder) manifesto for the kinds of methods we use for book
production. I was trying to capture something that could encompass all
the activities from Book Sprints to rolling manual development to remote
update sprints etc etc etc
so...here it is:
Iterative Book Development (IDB) Manifesto:
We value:
0. Collaborative content production over single authorship
1. Collaboration and facilitation over ‘editors’ and ‘authors’
2. Engaged discourse over isolation
3. Completed chunks over incomplete volumes
4. Here and now production over sometime soon production
... i generally laugh at anyone who thinks they have the moral authority
to create a manifesto so please feel free to laugh at me. I do however
think that this captures something that we have developed in FM...thoughts?
