Subject: Re: idea for the Library webpage
The SVN and CVS books I believe are under a free license as are most (if
not all) of the books that the FSF publishes.

CVS Book : http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/
SVN Book : http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
GNU Manuals : http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html

I know there are lots of manuals, tutorials and such for Python, Postgres
and PHP that would be worthy of cataloging as well.

The question is do we want to compile a list of links or something more?
My gut reaction is we have a digital library where we put links to the
books themselves as well as links to purchase the books. We then go and
grab the PDF's of the books and burn to a single ISO image. We can then
hand out a digital library at meetings, installfests or offer for
download. Just a thought. Like usual. I have NO time to do to this, but
if someone else does. Sign me up for a copy of the CD. :)
