Have you ever noticed that the Open Source projects most likely to tell you to RTFM are the same ones who don't have an FM that's worth R'ing? Why is that? This book is an attempt to get to the bottom of that mystery, and provide some best practices for documenting Open Source projects.
NEWS: I'm going to move the book, yet again, to FLOSS Manuals, which gives a much more collaborative environment for writing, without having to learn a bunch of new tools. Please let me know if you would like to participate, and we can figure out the permissions model together.
