FLOSS Manuals isn't based only on online collaboration.  Actually many of the manuals are written in [http://www.booksprints.net/ Booksprints], intensive sessions of a few days, where writers are collaborating live.  In Booksprints, entire {{tag|books}} are often produced in a few days.


;Booki
'''FLOSS Manuals''' ('''FM'''), from the [https://www.FLOSSManuals.org FLOSS Manuals Foundation] in the {{tag|United Kingdom}}, is an international network producing collaborative {{tag|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 [[:Category:Commercial|commercial]] software companies which try to dominate the ICT industry.  Although {{tag|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 [[:Category:Wiki language|language]] communities include [https://en.FLOSSManuals.net English], [https://fr.FLOSSManuals.net French], [https://fi.FLOSSManuals.net Finnish], [https://fa.FlossManuals.net Farsi], and [https://nl.FlossManuals.net Dutch] FLOSS Manuals. Originally, FLOSS {{tag|Manuals}} were usually published under the {{tag|Wiki GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License}} (GPL), and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify; more recently, they are published under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike}} (CC-BY-SA) license.
[http://www.booki.cc/ Booki] 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 [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] text books, instead of a large amount of short encyclopedia articles. Booki is also able to produce {{tag|PDF}} and {{tag|ePub}} books. It also has features of a microblogging site and is being integrated with the [http://status.net/ Status.net] microblogging platform.

[[Category:FoundedIn20xx]]<!--http://YourWikiURL.org/index.php?title=Special:Ancientpages-->
Since the project started in 2007, the FLOSS Manuals community has written more than 120 {{tag|books}} in over 30 [[:Category:Language|languages]], covering all sorts of topics, from {{tag|Video|open video}}, {{tag|Graphics|libre graphics}}, and {{tag|internet}} {{tag|security}}.
