The book is editable using [http://booki.flossmanuals.net/sahana-eden/_edit/ Booki]. Note that whilst this is freely open, it should not be treated like a Wiki. The book content should be of a higher quality with complete sentences/paragraphs which flow smoothly as opposed short notes or lists. Please do help by fixing any spelling/grammar errors in the book, improve the flow and add further clarification where needed.
If you want to add new content, use the Wiki for rough notes & then draft new chapters in the 'Hold chapters' section. If you would like to change Sections or add new Chapter please send an email to the sahana-eden mailing list so that this can be discussed in the community first.
