_Booki_ represents a new approach to publishing that can be described as social network publishing: people with a shared interest use the _Booki_ platform to collaborate online to create open textbooks and any other publication you can think of. _Booki_ facilitates the production of books through simple and effective book-production tools. With _Booki_ you can write a book by yourself or with others, discuss your views, seek assistance from others, translate or reuse content and publish completed works.

_Booki_ is a purpose-built open-source application, initially developed in 2010 as the new engine for FLOSS Manuals, an online creation platform and repository for manuals about open-source software. All of the existing FLOSS Manuals have been successfully migrated to _Booki_ and there are now hundreds of people collaborating in using it to create all kinds of books, from software manuals to fiction and poetry. The project is being promoted and disseminated through Book Sprints—one-week intensive sessions to collaboratively create a book— and the Bookimobile, a van containing everything required to produce books.
