New Help Resource LaunchedThis week sees the launch of a new resource for Mambo users Mambo Manual, an online community documentation project for the Mambo content management system. Mambo Manual is a community-driven wiki project. The site provides assistance for users and acts as a supplement to the documentation resources provided by the Mambo Foundation. Mambo Manual is unique: This is the first time the Mambo project has had a wiki for community development of documentation and help articles. This has been requested many times over the years, but never implemented. The wiki provides a way for every Mambo user to contribute to the project. Mambo Manual is another step towards the goal of having the best and most complete documentation of any open source CMS -- and to have it available in many different languages. There are currently 92 articles in the wiki, ranging from information for newbies to coding hints. The site also includes an excellent Glossary of Terms for Mambo. While the current contents are in English only, work has already started on translating the items into Dutch and Spanish. The project is built on the open source MediaWiki system. The template is a modified version of an open source template written by former Mambo lead developer, Robert Castley. All content is free to use under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 While the site is being run outside of the Mambo Foundation, the manual has been gifted to the project and as long as Mambo is active, the wiki will continue to grow. It should become a very valuable resource for new users. Visit Mambo Manual at http://www.mambo-manual.org. View the work to date or sign up to contribute. |
