I’d like to get help in converting existing open-licensed Ruby language  
related contents into Pandora format to be published at:

[http://books.rubyveil.com/](http://books.rubyveil.com/)

See this as an example:

[http://books.rubyveil.com/books/RubyNewsGroupFAQ/Introduction/RubyNewsGroupFAQ](http://books.rubyveil.com/books/RubyNewsGroupFAQ/Introduction/RubyNewsGroupFAQ)

The required skills are:

- the ability to cut and paste and edit text into Textile and Silk Veil  
format; and

- a good understanding of usability principles to be able to convert  
existing (sometimes hard to read) contents into Pandora books that are  
more structured, more readable, and more usable; and

- the ability to make occasional typographical and language corrections  
in the original contents.

Please contact me by email at [mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) if you are  
interested in helping with this project. Point me to existing materials  
that you have worked on so that I can have a feel of your usability and  
writing skills.

Thanks, and best regards,
