| Die Abkürzung FLOSS bedeutet Free Libre Open Source. FLOSS Manuals
ist ein Projekt zur Erstellung von Anleitungen für freie erhältliche
Open Source Software (free and open source software) wie zum Beispiel
OpenOffice oder Firefox. Die FLOSS Manuals werden von Freiwilligen via
Internet oder bei einem BookSprint-Treffen erstellt. Anschließend sind
FLOSS Manuals frei im Internet erhältliche Online-Hilfen (über www.flossmanuals.net), können aber auch als PDF heruntergeladen werden oder über den Print-Service www.lulu.com als gedrucktes Buchexemplar (Print on Demand) gekauft werden. |
Selbstdarstellung des FLOSS Manuals Projekts:
»FLOSS Manuals is a collection of manuals that explain how to install
and use a range of free and open source software. The manuals are
friendly and simple, and they are intended to encourage people to
explore the wide range of free, open source alternatives to expensive
and restrictively licensed software. At FLOSS Manuals you can find
manuals for free and open source software like office applications, as
well as web editing and browsing, and tools for playing, making,
streaming and sharing audio and video.
FLOSS Manuals make free software more accessible by providing
clear documentation that accurately explains their purpose and use.
Each manual explains what the software does and what it doesn't do,
what the interface looks like, how to install it, how to set the most
basic configuration necessary, and how to use its main functions. To
ensure the information remains useful and up to date the manuals are
regularly developed to add more advanced uses, and to document changes
and new versions of the software.
You can read and use the manuals in a number of different ways. They
can be read online in separately indexed chapters, and you can use the
website as a reference base in this way. You can also view, download,
or print each manual as a PDF file. It is also possible to ‘remix’
manuals to create a version that only includes specific aspects of a
particular manual, or that combines chapters from two or more manuals
in a single document. These can be downloaded and printed, added to
websites, and used for any purpose. You can also print a manual, or an
individually ‘remixed’ manual, as a book via the print-to-order service
of Lulu.com.
The manuals on FLOSS Manuals are written by a community of
people, who do a variety of things to keep the manuals as up to date
and accurate as possible. Anyone can contribute to a manual – to fix a
spelling mistake, to add a more detailed explanation, to write a new
chapter, or to start a whole new manual. The way in which FLOSS Manuals
are written mirrors the way in which FLOSS (Free, libre open source)
software itself is written: by a community who contribute to and
maintain the content.«
