There are a few updates to Booki that you may be interested in :

• We had a serious problem where you could accidentally delete a book if you were deleting chapter statuses. Opppsss. This has been fixed now.
•  “django-admin bookrename” (terminal admin command) now rewrites attachment path correctly.
• Everyone has access to “Attachments” tab now, but only administrator can delete attachments at the moment.
• Show human readable error message when you have more then one chapter with the same name. There is not much help with this at the moment, Booki administrator should remove or rename one of the chapters to fix any duplicates.
• Now you can directly link to chapter editor or any other tab in editor interface. For instance: –
  http://www.booki.cc/my_book/_edit/#/edit/my_chapter/ (links to a chapter)
  http://www.booki.cc/my_book/_edit/#/settings/ (links to the settings tab)
  http://www.booki.cc/my_booki/_edt/#/history/ (links to the history tab)
• You can’t leave editor by accident anymore. A pop-up window will ask for confirmation. Yes…Yes…Finally!
• Default Django slugify function does not know how to work with non ASCII characters. This was a major problem with Asian scripts, Russian and some other languages… This has been fixed now. At the moment we have dependencies that could not handle pure Unicode names, so we are just converting it to ASCII characters… For instance “Добрый день” will become “dobryi-den” and etc.
• Booki Editor is now fully localized.
• You can upload PDF book to Lulu.com from “Export” tab.
• Boxes are rounded and have gradient background if you are using Chrome or Safari
• Some other small bug fixes….

The open source not-for-profit organisations FLOSS Manuals Foundation and Sourcefabric are pleased to announce their newly forged partnership to maintain and develop the code base behind FLOSS Manuals’ successful free software documentation platform.

So last week we finished the Freedom Fone Book Sprint. Olaf, Laleh and Lynne were there working on design and tech implementation of design. Working together they pushed the current booki css a bit further to do some cool stuff. you can see the results here:

note the use of images for section breaks.

Section 1 header for Freedom Fone book. Achieved with CSS.

This can be achieved by css like this:

#section-1 .objavi-subsection-heading{
 background:#fff  url(http://www.freedomfone.org/booki/images/01_whatisff.png) no-repeat  center center;
}

the entire css is included below for your hackery resuse and inspiration
