FaiF 2.0

Free as in Freedom is a book about the life of Richard Stallman written by Sam Williams in 2002.

Free as in Freedom 2.0 is a revised edition by Stallman perself in 2010.

This project is an attempt to make a clean .epub, translate to Finnish, record audiobooks to both Finnish and English, and lastly publish concrete books from both.

Roadmap (Move to Projects and Issues once project expands)

  • Clean up the pdfToEpub en version so that translations can be started with a clean copy
  • Conform EPUB a11y 1.1
  • Add FreeSans after scanning book what are used (normal, bold, italic, italic-bold)
  • Translate epub to Finnish
  • Record English audiobook
  • Record Finnish audiobook

skipping the idea of multiple other languages. with the advent of artificial intelligence, software freedom has more or less died. this can change and my view is an arguable one.

It seems like my source epub of 2.0 is just a transcode from the 2.0 pdf to epub inside Calibre. Might require a lot of cleaning up to do now that ace also knows about the accessibility issues on the book. Yeaah this definitely confirms the pdf theory

Oh boy do I have a lot of cleaning up (bikesheddink) ahead of me.

not sure should i gitignore .pdf and .epub. At the same time I don't want "duplicate" data i.e. epub and unarchived epub code but at the same time I might not also want to use the Release page of GitHub and a maintenance-needing CICD pipeline on GHActions. Not sure how I should collaborate with jollheef or should I just leave their project alone.
