I didn't know suseware. I have visited its website but I can't see any content (only icons which bring you nowhere). Maybe it's me? My main idea isn't making it as a training material. It's more of a quick reference book or cookbook. > Also I have some links that I like to share with you tha I think could > be used as good references for your project. > > http://www.easywebtech.com/ebooks/Free_Suse_ebooks_Download-0.html > http://ocw.novell.com/suse-linux-enterprise-desktop/get-ready-for-open-sour > ce-suse-linux-enterprise-desktop-book-1 > http://ocw.novell.com/suse-linux-enterprise-desktop/get-ready-for-open-sou > rce-suse-linux-enterprise-desktop-book-2 http://www.opensuse-guide.org/ > http://ocw.novell.com/ - so good > http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse113/pdfdoc/art_osuse_installqui > ck_113/art_osuse_installquick_113.pdf > http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Lessons_for_Lizards > http://www.novell.com/documentation/opensuse113 > http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Cheat_sheets > http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_migrate_to_a_new_openSUSE_version Thanks for the rain of links!! :-) > > Another topic that I would like to talk with you about your project is > "localizations" What do you think to have this material at least > localized to all ambassadors native languages?

Of course. The more translations, the better. Nevertheless, I think it's better to focus on English to begin with and later on "freeze" it to help translators. > more bellow.. > > Em Qua, 2010-09-29 às 21:59 +0200, Jos Poortvliet escreveu: > > On Wednesday 29 September 2010 20:27:11 Javier Llorente wrote: > > > Hello there, > > > > > > I was thinking that having an openSUSE Handbook (or handbuch ;) in pdf > > > format ready to be downloaded, printed and even ready to be sent to a > > > publishing company is a good idea. > > > > > So, here's my proposal: > > <snip> > > Could not be also available in other open documentation format?
