Free documentation database.

[Gaetano Paolone <bigpaul@debian.org>]

Dear friends,
I am pleased to inform you that GFDD (GNUtemberg! Free Documentation
Database) has  reached  a  rather stable  version.  GFDD is already 
on-line (http://www.gfdd.org)  and some documents have already been 
indexed.

GFDD is a free project for free documentation.
                             
We are looking for new developers (we love PHP and PostgreSQL...)
to add new features to the database and new document maintainers
(the ones who submit and maintain updated data).

Also we need feedback to make powerful our db.
Here is GFDD user's manual:

Join us! :)    db@gnutemberg.org
