Now I wonder if it makes sense to have all the docs of drGeo here. I can do it but I'm thinking about it. May be I could create another category.
Perhaps a category named "Applications" or "Libraries" cheers -ben
I "read" your handbook and I do not think that it should be listed among the pharo books. Now what I would love to have is a handbook: Pharo for the Data Journalist. Do you have something like that?

Hi,
Nice to see this collection organized in this way with more targeted reading audiences.
The DrGeo PDFs are linked in the page Phil pointed to:
English: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/300141633/drgeo-english.pdf French: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/322576649/drgeo.pdf
You could add several books which are made with Grafoscopio:
The User Manual (pdf): http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/doc/tip/Docs/En/Books/Manual/man... Manual de Periodismo de datos (The Data Driven Journalist Handbook)
PDF: http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/mapeda/uv/mapeda.pdf Epub: http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/mapeda/uv/mapeda.epub Repo: http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/mapeda/
Pasos para una Biblioteca Digital de Bogotá (Steps towards the Bogota Digital Library):

We are just starting, but I think that the local community will be producing a good collection of digital publications, mainly books and booklets, powered by Grafoscopio, and done easily in a multiplatform and portable setup (Windows, Linux, Mac). We plan to follow a similar approach to GitBook [1] and LeanPub [2], and we have made some contacts with some publishers, authors and translators who would like to have a Open Reproducible Publishing Light Environment. Once we have more work done we will build our own books and booklets collection, so, may be we can showcase this work in some "powered by Pharo" publishing examples.

I know there is a very vocal opposition in this community about using anything but Pillar for documentation, but I think that showing that there is a strong support for writing complex documents, using Pharo powered tools and playing well with others, can be a strong point of advocacy about what is possible within this ecosystem, tech and community for a wider audience beyond programmers, like kids, school teachers, journalist, hacktivist, librarians, and so on.
Cheers,
Offray

Looks nice.
We should also put the books of Dr Geo in there but maybe they are GPL.
But at least a link to http://www.drgeo.eu/help would be nice.

Hi
We reorganised the books.pharo.org web site to make the distinction between technology and teaching oriented booklet. We will have specific covers soon and print available on lulu.
In addition we got the new booklet from C. Bera that explains Call Stack Management.
