Hi
Anyone wanting to help with the manual, we did it with an open-source DTP application, called Scribus, multiplatform, that way no one would be excluded, and there are no expenses involved in getting the application in question. The location is http://www.scribus.net
There are windows, OSX and linux, etc... packages there.
As for the "sources" of the manual, the actual scribus files and data (images, etc...)
they're in cvs, here to be more precise http://dangerdeep.cvs.sourceforge.ne...manual_src.zip
We can export from Scribus to PDF (and convert from PDF to Djvu, which makes much smaller and better quality documents).
Anyone wanting to take a look at the exported documents/manual, the links are:
http://dangerdeep.cvs.sourceforge.ne...eep_manual.pdf
and
http://dangerdeep.cvs.sourceforge.ne...ep_manual.djvu

There are lots of possibilities to refine the manual, such as a reference of uboat tactics, uboat packs tactics, navigation procedures, target aquisition procedures, etc... Any help would be apretiated, since we're buried in work with the physics and terrain for the next release (no release date yet).
That's pretty much it, you can always find us on dangerdeep.net's forums, or on IRC, or here, but we all work, so sometimes there might be some long periods of silence.
Stay tuned
