44 | The GNUnet Reference Manual is a collective work produced by various | ||
45 | people throughout the years. The version you are reading is derived | ||
46 | from many individual efforts hosted on our website. This was a failed | ||
47 | experiment, and with the conversion to Texinfo we hope to address this | ||
48 | in the longterm. Texinfo is the documentation language of the GNU project. | ||
49 | While it can be intimidating at first and look scary or complicated, | ||
50 | it is just another way to express text format instructions. We encourage | ||
51 | you to take this opportunity and learn about Texinfo, learn about GNUnet, | ||
52 | and one word at a time we will arrive at a book which explains GNUnet in | ||
53 | the least complicated way to you. Even when you don't want or can't learn | ||
54 | Texinfo, you can contribute. Send us an Email or join our IRC chat room | ||
55 | on freenode and talk with us about the documentation (the prefered way | ||
56 | to reach out is the mailinglist, since you can communicate with us | ||
57 | without waiting on someone in the chatroom). One way or another you | ||
58 | can help shape the understanding of GNUnet without the ability to read | ||
59 | and understand its sourcecode. | ||
