Hi Mark and Josh, <br>
<br>
Thanks for getting involved. This is a good time as we are coming
out of administrative and technical hibernation! More on that later
but first a quick tech update. <br>
<br>
We migrated backend content of books to write.flossmanuals.net which
is running a Booktype 1.6 code, which I think is here. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype/releases/tag/v1.6.1">https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype/releases/tag/v1.6.1</a><br>
<br>
The front end - a publisher which fetches the pages from the repo
and creates a web table of contexts and snapshot versions of epub,
pdf - is an outdated php version of bookipublisher which is
unmaintained and has needed replacing for some time. So this site is
now static. So there's greater urgency. <br>
<br>
There is a django project underway to replace it here.<br>

Let me know if you want access Josh and I'll get that to you. <br>
<br>
Unfortunately this project was more complex that we had anticipated,
and me and Jo have both started new families. Which is great for us
but has meant that we are stalled for this FM. Nicolas from French
FM is also working on it. <br>
<br>
I've recently proposed on the FM admin list to create a static html
front end which lists all active manuals and looks nice. And we link
to pages like this one for csound, which is the live version on the
write site. <br>

<br>
I think is a good first start as a way of overcoming the stalled
publishing workflow. If you are interested in helping the process,
let me know and I'll add you to our admin email list (in the cc) <br>
<br>
nice one<br>

A friend of mine called Josh has offered to help with technical
work<br>
on flossmanuals.net. He's a webdev, knows the pandoc code, python
and<br>
some django.<br>
<br>
He was asking whether the source is on github and how we track
issues.<br>
<br>
I couldn't find answers on flossmanuals.org or booktype.pro, can<br>
anyone help, and/or offer some pointers to a new volunteer? I must<br>
admin that since the last platform migration I've not fully
understood<br>
where we're up to.<br>
<br>
I've copied him into this email, please include him in any
replies.<br>
<br>
Cheers folks,<br>
Mark<br>
