About > How We Work

We publish manuals for free software, under free documentation licenses.

We try to select manuals which are concise and written by experts -- the developers of the software themselves.

When we publish a free manual we carry out the following work:

• proofreading
• correcting typos
• checking the examples
• clarifying and improving the text where possible
• making additional index entries

Any corrections or improvements are then sent to the official maintainer of the manual to be incorporated into the main version.

We are a free software / free documentation business --- all the money raised goes back into hiring people to work on more free documentation, or free software that we need to run the business.

We hire free software developers as editors, proofreaders and consultants, so that the production costs also support free software development.

Buying books from us is a way to ensure that free documentation continually improves.
