Adam is trying to get votes for Booki to win an Open Web Award from Drumbeat. Booki is the software behind FLOSS Manuals, which we used to create our OLPC and Sugar manuals, including my own "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!" and "E-Book Enlightenment". Booki will also enable students and teachers to write and publish their own books on any subject, not just free software. It can even be used to proofread and correct EPUBs from the Internet Archive.
Anything that makes Booki and FLOSS Manuals more visible makes our own manuals more visible. Booki also aligns with our own mission to get more free content into the hands of students. I encourage you to check out booki.cc and if you like what you see register on drumbeat and give it a vote.
