'''FLOSS Manuals''' ('''FM''') is an international network producing collaborative [[:Category:Free software|free software]] manuals.  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 [http://en.FlossManuals.net English], [https://fr.FlossManuals.net French], [http://fi.FlossManuals.net Finnish],{{DeadEL}} [https://fa.FlossManuals.net Farsi], and [https://nl.FlossManuals.net Dutch] FLOSS Manuals.  {{tag|Manuals}} are usually published under the GPL license, and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify.
'''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|NotAWiki|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.

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}}.
FLOSS Manuals isn't based only on online {{tag|collaboration}}.  Actually many of the manuals are written in [https://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.

[http://www.Booki.cc Booki]{{DeadEL}} 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 {{tag|TWiki}}.  Booki is optimized for writing long texts such as free software manuals or [[:Category:Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] text books, instead of a large amount of short [[:Category:Encyclopedia|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 [https://Status.net Status.net] microblogging platform.
