</div><div>All the actual content of the manual probably won't be ready in FLOSS until Friday morning PST but we'll get the structure in so you can begin work. </div><div><br></div><div>By Friday IST, we will have all the chapter structures (along with the section headers) for the manual set up in FLOSS. One task that will be quite useful would be to add via the html source view anchor tags for each section header so at the top of each chapter there can be a mini table of contents linking further down throughout that page.</div>

WHERE: Seattle (USA), #mifos IRC channel on FreeNode, tokbox<br> (video conf) and over VoIP as necessary<br>WHO: Mike Dash, Anita Anderson, Adam Monsen, Ed Cable,<br> Van Mittal-Henkle Darwin Cruz, Charlene Balick,<br>
Adam Feuer, and you, hopefully!<br>HOW: Keep reading!<br><br>This Friday, April 2nd, we will be hosting a sprint on the new Mifos<br>user manual. Thanks to awesome work so far by Mike and Anita,
the actual<br>content of the manual is mostly complete. But there's more to do, and we<br>need your help! The *one-day* sprint will be one day almost entirely<br>formatting, proofreading, and standardizing the text towards agreed-upon<br>
writing conventions. The manual is large, perhaps even the largest yet<br>hosted by FLOSS Manuals. We'll coordinate more specifics on Friday.<br><br>If you want to participate, please sign up for a free account on FLOSS<br>
Manuals here: <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/register" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/register</a> and show up on the<br>Mifos IRC channel anytime on Friday, PDT. If you feel like replying to<br>this message to indicate your assent to join our sprint, go for it!<br>
<br>The tokbox URL will be given out in the Mifos IRC channel at 0930.<br><br></div><br></div></div>-----Inline Attachment Follows-----<br><br><div>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
