­XCHANGE Introduction

Each FLOSS Manuals language site is a separate installation. Essentially this means that languages ­can be handled much more efficiently. To facilitate the transfer of documents between these separate installations FLOSS Manuals has built a system known as XCHANGE. This tool set enables any site within the FLOSS Manuals network to get content from any other site in the network.

The XCHANGE interface is very simple to use but is only accessible to administrators so it might be that you will never see this interface:

What you see here is a mechanism for transferring entire manuals and individual chapters (with images) from one language version of FLOSS Manuals to another. The process allows you to :

  1. Preview the material before transferral
  2. Choose chapters and manuals for transferring
  3. Mark the migrated material as 'published', 'unpublished' or 'untranslated'
  4. Rename the individual chapters or the manual
