Re: [Textbook-l] Vectorsite.net

I've found an interesting website today called vectorsite.net (http://www.vectorsite.net/) that contains a number of nice but sparsly-formatted writings, all released into the Public Domain. Some of his works are not useful to Wikibooks, but he has a number (about computing, science, and mathematics) which I think would be very very useful for us. Plus, the lack of complicated formatting means that it should be very easy for us to translate to wikitext and upload them at wikibooks. I think I am going to do this for a few books (there are books on Awk and C programming that I am particularly interested) probably starting next week. I'll try to get a bot together to do the translation. If anybody wants to help, or suggest any books from this site to import as well, let me know. I'm also going to send a friendly email to the site's owner telling him that we're using his materials (and invite him to become a wikibookian!). --Andrew Whitworth _______________________________________________ Textbook-l mailing list Textbook-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/textbook-l
