I would be tempted to try and stick to the terms of the call for proposals; Google / FLOSS Manuals presumably wants to be able to say "We created X new books!" rather than "We updated / filled in gaps in existing documentation!". (That's pure conjecture on my part, not based on any inside knowledge.) In that vein, Robert's suggestion for a getting started guide would be an appropriately-sized standalone project that would also be able to be integrated into our existing documentation after the fact. I think that would have particular value if there was also a focus on the "Getting started with a production system" section; in the IRC channel we've noted that there are all kinds of knobs to tweak and tune that new sites trip over. It would be a real win to come away with a book that closes that gap. _______________________________________________ OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION mailing list OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION@list.georgialibraries.org http://list.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-documentation
