Bookmanager

The problem:

We have a number of distributed documentation written by
different groups and organizations and users. Although we can
put an html link up with the collection Students, researchers,
tutorial participants can benefit from a tool that integrates
all of them into a single Document and not just a collection
of links. This allows for a “book” like distribution of the
content written by various people and hosted on various and
GitHub repositories.

In our case it also serves as a mechanism for generating class
proceedings of reports developed by students so they can take
them “home” after they did the class.

The solution

We have a simple tool called bokmanager that creates an epub
of documents specified in a yaml table of contents. The
documents will be fetched from the url, the images downloaded
and an epub generated. This epub (if not to big) can than be
browes not only on your computer, but also on your iPads and
cell phones, so you can add them to your book collection
