User talk:Aizatto

Hello Aizat! welcome to wikibooks. This page is your "user talk" page, where people can leave you messages. You also have a "user page" Where you can write information about yourself, your projects, and your books. You can always leave me a message on my user talk page as well: I check my messages here very frequently.

For information about wikibooks, you can take a look at the Help Wikibook. Keep in mind that red hyperlinks point to pages that haven't been created yet, and blue hyperlinks point to valid pages.

I've tried to keep the formatting in FOSS Licensing simple. If you want to see how I formatted things, you can click the "edit this page" link at the top of your page. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. --Andrew Whitworth (talk) (projects) 13:30, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

FOSS Licensing
I fixed the page foot-notes in this book, and I imported the two tables at FOSS Licensing/How to Make the Source Free or Open. Please double-check my work, and make sure I haven't missed anything in the transfer. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I would like to propose opening the few pages: FOSS A General Introduction, FOSS Education, FOSS Government Policy, FOSS Localization, FOSS Open Standards, for their respective documents at IOSN's webpage. If there are no problems, I'll just open them right away, and leave a header Under Construction.

I'll take that will be the proposed format the footnotes should be in. Table looks good; fixed some minor spelling mistakes.

 * I took the liberty of creating these pages for you. I have some time today (monday) to transfer over a new book, if you would like. Just let me know which book to transfer and I will do the dirty work. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 12:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I hacked a small script that converts atm maybe 80% of the docbook xml -> mediawiki; I'm moving over the Education right now

 * That might be a very useful tool for us. Would you mind if i see the source code? --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 14:56, 11 September 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem; its really messy right now though, I'll send in a bit once I've tested it, and worked out some of the kinks.

 * While uploading the page for FOSS Education/Infrastructure I had to upload two images [[Image:OpenOffice.png]] and [[Image:FOSS Education - Mozilla.png]] is there a naming standard that you would like me to follow? Similarly the PDF document has blocks of text that arent in the flow of the document.  The specific pages are pg13 (Example: Kerala India), pg17 (Survey of OSS Use in Tertiary Institutions), and pg18 (Example: Goa, India).  How would you like me to format these?

--aizatto 13:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

There is no particular "naming standard" for images, but generally we like the filename to include the title of the book (or an unmistakable abbreviation thereof). By The way, I have finished uploading FOSS Government Policy, if you would like to take a look at that. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 14:39, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

FOSS Localization and FOSS A General Introduction
Thank you for fixing the formatting in these books. I had hacked together a quick script to try and convert the text (but i forgot to remove some of the important tags). I was going to fix them later today, but now I can move on to other projects! --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 13:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

FOSS Education edits
Hello Aizatto!

I have added sections about software projects to your book 'FOSS Education'. Tell me if my additions are wellcome or not! See here: changed page

I have written a little passage about the Octave language, so you can see what I want to write. I didn't write more, because I don't know if my writing fits into the book. What do you think? The style of my additions is quite different from yours. Your book currently has an advocacy or management information focus. I want to compare software from a programmers point of view.

You should write a chapter about PHP, Ruby on rails, and Python web development frameworks, I think.

Maybe the book should be copied to Wikisource because it is an already published brochure. Then the version here on Wikibooks should be changed to say that it is an extended version, that is continually altered by the FOSS comunity.
