/> triggered me that people are not aware that an EPUB version of the<br /> Slackware Linux Essentials, Revised"" book (Wiki edition can be<br /> downloaded from our Wiki.<br /><br /> The SlackDocs Wiki has an "epub" extension which allows to define the<br /> content of a custom book (you select the pages) and then create an EPUB<br /> book out of that.<br /> On the page <a href="http://docs.slackware.com/epub:slackbook">http://docs.slackware.com/epub:slackbook</a> I defined an EPUB<br /> by adding all the chapters of our WIki version of the Slack Book and<br /> running the generator on that definition. The resulting EPUB book is<br /> <a href="http://docs.slackware.com/_media/epub:alienbob:2015_july_23_05-55-47.epub">http://docs.slackware.com/_media/epub:alienbob:2015_july_23_05-55-47.epub</a><br /> ,<br /> a URL which is accessible on that page even for visitors without editor<br /> rights.<br /><br /> Challenge to you, the mailing list audience: I need a cover page for<br!
/> that
EPUB book!<br /><br /> The official cover of the paper book "Slackware Linux Essentials" (see<br /> <a href="http://it-book.pro/img/books/14.png">http://it-book.pro/img/books/14.png</a>) looks nice but the Revised book is<br /> not written by these original authors, it was a community effort to<br /> rejuvenate the original book. The printed version of this Revised<br /> edition lists Alan Hicks as additional author next to the three original<br /> ones: <a href="https://store.slackware.com/images/sp/slackbook.gif">https://store.slackware.com/images/sp/slackbook.gif</a><br /><br /> The Slack Book Beta is yet another incarnation of the book - re-written<br /> by Alan Hicks to get rid of the GPL restrictions of the original - is<br /> what we imported into our WIki.<br /><br /> What I want is a cover image in the spirit of the original. That image<br /> (if one is created) will be added to the EPUB book.<br /><br /> Eric<br /><hr /><br /> Slackdocs mailing list<br />
Slackdocs@alienbase.nl<br /> <a href="http://lists.alienbase.nl/mailman/listinfo/slackdocs">http://lists.alienbase.nl/mailman/listinfo/slackdocs</a><br /></blockquote> I could probably GIMP something up pretty easily, but I'd need to know a<br /> bit more precisely what you want on the cover and the preferred color<br /> schema and optimum resolution to be utilized for the epub document. Give<br /> me some details of what you have in mind, Eric, and I'll work up two or<br /> three versions for you to consider.<br /><br /> ~vtel<br /></blockquote> Well, it was implied by linking to<br /> <a href="https://store.slackware.com/images/sp/slackbook.gif">https://store.slackware.com/images/sp/slackbook.gif</a> that a cover image<br /> for the Wiki version may somewhat look like that older cover. At least<br /> regarding color scheme and graphics.<br /> For certain, the Slackware logo (the "S" as well as the "Slackware<br /> Linux" understrike text) should be present in some capacity
(wither<br /> whole, or morphed or partially visible).<br /> No author names on the new cover though - the title should be<br /> sufficient, and it should be clear that this is a Wiki-fied version of<br /> the Beta Book.<br /> Something like "The Slack Book"as the main title and "SlackDocs Wiki<br /> version" as a subtitle?<br /> I leave it to you to include (or not) the Wiki URL<br /> <a href="http://docs.slackware.com/slackbook:start">http://docs.slackware.com/slackbook:start</a> on that cover image.<br /> <br /> Have fun!
