I got the essential leads for the following links from a kuro5hin<\/a> article titled “All Systems Go: The Newly Emerging Infrastructure to Support Free Books”<\/a> posted on Fri Dec 16th, 2005.<\/p>\n

now something to track advertisers and something to track articles.<\/p>\n

Design Software<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inkscape <\/a>is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.<\/p>\n

A Guide to Inkscape<\/a> by Tavmjong Bah<\/p>\n

Scribus<\/a> is a high-level page layout and design program. It is open source and freely available for Linux (aka Macintosh OSX) and Windows.<\/p>\n

There is a wiki setup for leaning Scribus<\/a>, but it has a terrible user interface. I get lost but it seems to be the only up to date source.<\/p>\n

Gimp is a good open source pixel level editor http:\/\/www.gimp.org\/<\/p>\n

Online Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Wikimedia Commons<\/a> is a project that provides a central repository for free images, music, sound & video clips and, possibly, texts and spoken texts, used in pages of any Wikimedia project.”<\/p>\n

“Publish and Sell Worldwide” at Lulu.com<\/a>. “Lulu is FREE, FAST and EASY No set-up fees. No minimum order. No delay. No catch. Lulu prints and ships each book as it’s bought. The buyer pays the cost \u00e2\u20ac\u201d not you. Lulu only makes money if you do.”<\/p>\n

The Kuro article says that if you don’t take a profit from the book they won’t take a commission. You could down load it for free or just pay the cost of printing.<\/p>\n

“Welcome to Textbook Revolution<\/a>, the web\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s source for free educational materials.”<\/p>\n

” The Assayer <\/a>is the web’s largest catalog of free books, and also collects user-submitted reviews.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
