Import book from booky
Works on the demo site as well: http://booktype-demo.sourcefabric.org/initiation-inkscape/_draft/_v/1.0/introduction/

Import book from booky
You need to use the Booki link to import the book: http://fr.flossmanuals.net/ecrire/initiation-inkscape/ http://fr.flossmanuals.net/initiation-inkscape/ is a link to the Bookipublisher version of the book. So import to Booktype 1.6.1 works at least…

Mathml support and few other questions?
I was asked about math markup support again since some writing projects really need it. TinyMCE has all kinds of nice plugins available, but since it will not be used it is not really useful play around with them. It also doesn't load the Finni…

Moving revision history with books
Some earlier version or predecessor of Booki/Booktype apparently had a list of contributors as Dublin Core metadata. And this metadata still remains in the older books. Current version of Booktype doesn't add contributor metadata though? Can …

how do I enable firefox spellcheck in booktype 1.5.3?
TinyMCE Spellchecker is easy to install if you can install the dependencies which are available in Debian and Ubuntu repositories. The Google service it uses as a default proofreading service is probably retired or something so I have been using P…

Django OAuth
This one works quite nicely: http://django-social-auth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ The problem is just that some services don't provide an email, so if you allow registration with those the user cannot reset his password and cannot login with a…

Issue with uploading profile image, cover
Seems like the PIL that comes with Booktype doesn't have all of the dependencies it needs so it cannot handle the images. I got it to work by just installing PIL with working dependencies and using that instead of Booktype's PIL, but you n…

Moving revision history with books
I gather this would always be impossible, since you just cannot move usernames and passwords around? :)

Localization
I will update the Finnish localization file soon. Did you set up some kind of a translation center already? It is more fun to use something like Transifex for localization...

Book Status?
I have been wondering about what a collaborative editing platform should actually be like. I think that a collaborative editing platform should be like Git, where you can make your own fork of the content and do whatever you want. And then you sho…

Status.net plugin
Seems like "StatusNet doesn't have too much oxygen". Which is actually quite sad, since it was quite groovy.

Book Status?
And then there are a lot of little improvements that would make it a lot cooler. For an example the messaging system could parse usernames and urls into links. And avoid posting messages twice. Actually Finnish site already has a limit to how many m…

Captchas
Hi, Not much to add yet. Currently the spam bots think that Booktype is some other platform and try to login all the time without success. I am afraid that captchas will certainly be needed at some point. Regards Tomi

Status.net plugin
There is now a StatusNet installed on the same server since we are writing a StatusNet manual. It might be funny to test this StatusNet integration when the StatusNet manual is completed, currently testing it is not a good idea since both of them ar…

Maximum amount of users?
We had approximately 20 users at the same time and there was no problem. So it seems like it can handle more users at least on our server.

Maximum amount of users?
I wonder if there is a realistic way to simulate this. Is it enough if I open it 20 times in different browser tabs? :)

Translation tools in Booktype
Regarding Booktype localization: I am not exactly sure about this, I have ended up doing translation straight into the templates in both Booki and Booktype, since the site is pretty much only for one language, and there will be small changes to the…

Authors list
Not much progress with this. I have only been testing Schema.org semantic markup in the authors list and various other parts of Booktype. It just takes forever since you have to wait for Google to crawl and index the site to see if it has any effe…

Localization
Hey, I finally took into use the localization file instead of translated templates. It works properly, but I noticed that some strings are still missing. So one of these days I am going to add the missing strings to the localization file. Gotta r…

Problem when installing Booktype/booki database
Ah, it is great that this procedure has been properly documented now. I somehow solved this problem a couple of months ago, but absolutely couldn't remember any more what I actually did. Good that you wrote it down before it is forgotten again.…

Actually it would be hard to do something like that so that it would work in every Booktype installation. Or which external services different installations would like to use. I don't even know yet if the Finnish FLOSS Manuals Booktype needs …

Yeah, it might be a privacy problem. And I don't know if so many people do actually have Google Plus profiles.

I love this stuff. Apparently Google can recognize the authors IF you add a link to the author's Google Plus profile: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408986 Wanna add a form for everybody to add their Goo…

Authors list
I immediately got sidetracked here. I was looking at microformats (especially Schema.org) and they cannot handle a book properly. Seemingly a book (http://schema.org/Book) is more like a product you can buy while an article is something that has c…

Localization
Hi, if I make a Finnish version of the localization file (https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype/blob/booktype-1.5.3/lib/booki/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/django.po) is it possible that you distribute it with Booktype? I don't really need to do t…

Ah, thanks! I was thinking it should be something like {{ authors }}... ;)

Deploying to OPENSHIFT Express - WIP
At least the messaging system sends messages about events in the editor. I don't know if it also does something else that might cause trouble with the editor.
