[FM Discuss] Site down? and continuing: Ten years of FLOSS Manuals

hi all,

Yes it would make sense to mark the occasion, but I would couple it with the launch of Mick's new UK entity that will take FM into a bright and as yet uncharted future!

So, priorities would be:

- Get flossmanuals.net <http://flossmanuals.net/> back up asap.

- Get the last details sorted with the new entity that will run FM 2.0.

- Close down the despised NL foundation, and...

- start sailing the wide open (source) digital ocean!

cheers,
Eric

Something smei-formal in the spirit of FLOSS Manuals and circling around the topics of OSS, documentation and collaboration.
