WordPress Handbook Project in the works
Also announced at WordCamp Las Vegas by Matt Mullenweg, the WordPress Handbook Project is going to be the free and official online manual for WordPress users. According to Lorelle van Fossen, the handbook will cover basic WordPress usage from installing to upgrading, customization from themes to plugins, and other core functionality.
She also says it will not replace the WordPress Codex, although portions of it will be included. And that means if you want to help out with the Handbook project, you might want to do so with the Codex and join the Documentation Team for now.
The handbook is also said to be based on the O’Reilly book Version Control with Subversion by Ben Collins-Sussman, Brian W. Fitzpatrick, C. Michael Pilato.
So if you were wondering if you should put down a few bucks for one of those WordPress books that’s currently in the market, you might want to wait until this one comes out. This is another interesting WordPress project right on the heels of the WordPress.tv and WordCamp.tv launching.
