It's worth remembering that one of the most common critcisms of open source platforms and applications is the lack of official documentation. One of the best ongoing projects for producing free open source-related documentation is FLOSS Manuals. Now, the site has added an interesting new type of guide to its mix: workbooks.

I made extensive revisions and additions for the first edition of the book The Cathedral and the Bazaar, and expect to continue adding and revising in future editions.
