I have to write a little manual about the collaborative writing process we have been using here, which is like:<br><br>- Startup meeting and a live writing session<br>- Online collaborative writing<br>- Live writing session<br>
- Online collaborative writing<br>- Repeat until complete<br><br>We used different external resources for coordination, like Moodle, a wiki page or project mailing lists. I wonder if people would now be able to communicate with Booktype itself, or if we still need something else as well.<br>
<br>This booklet should include a little style guide, since some people seem to like those, and otherwise you will end up making a new ad hoc style guide for each writing process. A glossary is probably also needed. <br><br>
It should probably include the Booktype user guide. And some information about FLOSS Manuals. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/4/3 adam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adam@flossmanuals.net">adam@flossmanuals.net</a>></span><br>

recently (last week) i tried to improve it here:<br>

Reviving an old thread: Can you summarize the aspects that you think are<br>
wrong or out of date?<br>

Thanks.<br>

Hi Janet,<br>
<br>
It appears that the Book Sprints book has not been published<br>
to the<br>
Read area.<br>
<br>
<br></div>
This one? <a href="http://booki.flossmanuals.net/__book-sprints/" target="_blank">http://booki.flossmanuals.net/<u></u>__book-sprints/</a><div class="im"><br>
<<a href="http://booki.flossmanuals.net/book-sprints/" target="_blank">http://booki.flossmanuals.<u></u>net/book-sprints/</a>><br>
<br>
It's been published here:<br></div>
<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/__book-sprints/" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/__<u></u>book-sprints/</a><div class="im"><br>
<<a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/book-sprints/" target="_blank">http://en.flossmanuals.net/<u></u>book-sprints/</a>><br>
<br>
but it doesn't show up on the Flossmanuals homepage. Unless this was<br>
deliberate for some reason, I think it would be great to see the<br>
book<br>
promoted there.<br>
<br>
The book owner (John Curwood) would need to log into:<br>

set the book-sprints Category to 'Book production', check the<br>
Visible<br>
box, then click the Save Changes button.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
