FLOSS Manuals is an international network producing collaborative free software manuals. It was created by [[Adam Hyde]], who has been the main driving force behind the project. Currently the active language communities include [http://en.flossmanuals.net/ English], [http://fr.flossmanuals.net/ French], [http://fi.flossmanuals.net/ Finnish], Farsi and Dutch FLOSS Manuals. Manuals are usually published under the GPL license and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify. | FLOSS Manuals is an international network producing collaborative {{tag|free software}} manuals.

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.

[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 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 [http://status.net/ Status.net] microblogging platform. | [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.
