[opensuse-kde] Fwd: Check out our Guide for new KDE developers
---------- Mensaje Reenviado ---------- Asunto: Check out our Guide for new KDE developers Fecha: Sábado, 19 de noviembre de 2011, 00:19:39 De: Valorie Zimmerman <valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com> %ODIRECCIÓNDIREC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, last month a team of three young developers and one non-devel were sponsored by Google to Google's first documentation sprint, along with 3 other teams: OpenMRS, OpenStreetMaps, and Sahana Eden. Each team wrote a book that week which was published on the Flossmanuals.org site, and each of use got a copy of the book we had written, which was just amazing! Printed copies are available for purchase from Lulu.com [0]. The beauty of the process is that the text, layout, artwork and other aspects of the book can be edited and updated, then published whenever we like. In our case, we wrote a short manual for new KDE developers to get all set up to create patches, dive into application development, or even start work on our KDE base framework. While we think what we produced is pretty good, we know that it can be improved, and maybe even needs some corrections. We’ve assigned the e.V. ownership of the book, and they will set the pricing for printed copies. It is available as an ePub as well as PDF, and is readable on the web at [1]. It was quite a thrill to see our book on my Kindle! If you are interested, please read through it, and if you want to edit, create an account at flossmanuals and edit the book here [2]. To get in touch with people already involved in editing and publishing process of the book , you may send an email to <kde-book-creation@googlegroups.com> or find us on irc-freenode channel #kde-doc-sprint.
