05 May 09: Example embedded manual from FLOSS Manuals

Here's an example of using the FLOSS Manuals' AJAX API to embed a remix of chapters from different manuals into this blog post. The embedded remix combines chapters from the How to Bypass Internet Censorship and Firefox manuals.

This is a work in progress that I'm tweaking. The API is beta.

Thank you Janet, this is very interesting! Such an API is an awesome idea for a wiki. I'm going to try it out myself as soon as time allows. It looks like such fun, and extremely useful way to publish bits of your content at another location.

Cheers, Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Glad you like it :-)

I created this for my demo of FLOSS Manuals at the STC Summit, part of Scott Abel's presentation on "User-Generated Content". Showing this bit got audible oohs from the audience.

Nice. Funny thing is that this doesn't seem to work with IE (not that I really care; prefer Firefox, Epiphany, and Opera myself).

I have been using a professional electric toothbrush (~$90) twice a day for the past two weeks. Coupled with floss and mouthwash, my gums are no longer inflamed, my mouth no longer hurts after meals, and my teeth lost their gritty texture. Is it the toothbrush or the combination of everything that's led to the awesome results? I'm still using the same toothpaste that I have been using for the past few months.
