Brussels, Belgium: We are pleased to announce The Muktware Manual Project. The aim of this project is to create comprehensive manuals/user guides for different Gnu/Linux-based operating systems.
The core focus of this project is to help users in installing and using GNU/Linux systems through extremely easy, step-by-step instructions.
The guides will feature images and videos to make it even easier for a novice to install & use their systems.
We have selected 6 distros for this project:
1. Ubuntu 2. Kubuntu 3. Linux Mint 4. Fedora 5. openSuse 6. Debian
Each project will be led by an editor. Each editor will be paid a renumeration of US $150 per project. The deadline to finish & submit the project is April 28th, 2011.
We are looking for editors who can commit to releasing the projects in time and ensure error free copies of the manuals/guides.
The Guides will be developed internally, but once finalized they will be released as open-source projects published under a creative commons license. The project will be open to be edited by anyone - just like a wiki.
The Muktware Manual Project is our contribution to the development and growth of the free software technologies. The aim of this project is to create a comprehensive pool of information under a single roof which will benefit not just one distro, but GNU/Linux in general. I hope this project will help people to use GNU/Linux with greater ease.
We are inviting the applications for editors. If you think you have the time and skills to lead the project, apply now to become a project leader/editor.

Maybe I'm missing something here - but don't such guides already exist for all the Linux distros you listed?

Can you be specific which version/variation of CC?

Yes they do. But are scattered and we are working on a version for average users who want click-next approach. Its basically scratching my itch. I here run some install fest and come across queries from new users. These manuals will address those specific queries.
