FLOSS Manuals (FM), from the FLOSS Manuals Foundation in the United Kingdom, is an international network producing collaborative free software manuals. FLOSS is the acronym for 'Free, Libre, and Open Source Software', and is a vital movement to counter the oppressive dominance of the few commercial software companies which try to dominate the ICT industry. Although not a wiki, FLOSS Manuals encompasses the wiki spirit of collaborative writing. It was created by Adam Hyde, who has been the main driving force behind the project. Currently the active language communities include English, French, Finnish, Farsi, and Dutch FLOSS Manuals. Originally, FLOSS Manuals were usually published under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify; more recently, they are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-BY-SA) license.

Since the project started in 2007, the FLOSS Manuals community has written more than 120 books in over 30 languages, covering all sorts of topics, from open video, libre graphics, and internet security.

Book Sprints

FLOSS Manuals isn't based only on online collaboration. Actually many of the manuals are written in Book Sprints, intensive sessions of a few days, where writers are collaborating live. In Book Sprints, entire books are often produced in a few days.[1]

Booki

Booki [dead link] is a collaborative authoring platform that has in many ways been designed based on the experiences of the FLOSS Manuals project. Originally, FLOSS Manuals used a modified version of TWiki. Booki is optimized for writing long texts such as free software manuals or Creative Commons text books, instead of a large amount of short encyclopedia articles. Booki is also able to produce PDF and ePub books. It also has features of a microblogging site, and is being integrated with the Status.net microblogging platform.
