The FLOSS Manuals Foundation

WHERE DO MANUALS COME FROM?

FLOSS Manuals is more than a collection of manuals about Free Software, it is also the community. The writers include professional authors, editors, artists, software developers, activists, and many others. Anyone can contribute to FM to fix a spelling mistake, change details, write a new chapter, or start a new manual.

Our core aim is making it easy to maintain and contribute to manuals, text books, teaching materials by providing an easy to use interface for collaborating on the creation of texts about Free Software.
HISTORY

FLOSS Manuals was launched in 2007 to remedy the deficit of good free documentation about Free Software. Our strategy is to develop communities to produce high quality free manuals about Free Software in their own language.

Today we have more than 120 books in over 30 languages, and more than 3,000 contributors. In 2011 the FLOSS Manuals Foundation (FMF) was created to provide resources and support to all language community groups, start new language communities, and oversee the FM network.
