Ruby Reports Documentation Effort
By sandal (add to contacts)
Donate to this to help offset the costs of the volunteer effort to improve the documentation for the Ruby Reports project, which includes ruport, ruport-util, and acts_as_reportable.
The ultimate goal of this project is to release a book on Ruport, self published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. This book will be sold at a very low cost if possible, with proceeds allowing us to continue the ongoing documentation effort.
The full manuscript will be available as it is developed at ruportbook.com, and will continue to be available free of charge after publishing.
The documentation effort is lead by the head developers for the project: Gregory Brown and Michael Milner
You can see the latest content for the Ruport book as it is developed at http://ruportbook.com

This is great. Thanks to those who have already donated!
You're getting us one step closer to pulling ourselves out of debt to hosting companies, and soon could be heading towards saving money for our Lulu registration for the book!

Just wanted to say thanks for the continued donations, it helps a lot!
We're maybe 2/3 of the way towards covering all of our hosting fees for the year thanks to this!

Once again, I can't thank folks enough.
We've now reached the point where we've got our hosting bills covered for one year, which is much more than what I could have hoped for!
Any remaining proceeds will help offset the cost of establishing a company for us to distribute the typeset PDF and printed copies of the book.
We'd like to keep the price point as low as possible, and also donate a decent amount of any proceeds we get from book sales to charity.
Any continued donations will help us keep prices low and cover some of the fixed costs we're facing.
Feel free to get in touch with us on the Ruport list and tell us how we can make this book helpful to you.
