Help me dedicate time to write the Sozi Guide

Sozi  is free software  for creating animated presentations. It is generally used to make visual aids for lectures or meetings. With Sozi, a presentation is not organized as a sequence of slides, but rather as a succession of viewpoints on a map that you explore.

Since 2009, a lot of people have tried Sozi and found it useful. Amazing creations have been made with it, and I have received incredible support from all over the world.

 

Sozi is still a personal project that I develop mostly alone in my spare time. Over the years, while many users, including myself, were expecting new features and bug fixes, writing code has often felt like a better use of my time than writing documentation.

 

Today, I realize that the documentation for Sozi needs to be updated and reorganized. I usually feel that some questions on the community forum would be easier to answer if there was a real Sozi user guide available.

 

For this reason, I have decided to rewrite the documentation of Sozi in the form of an online book. I have also reserved a very nice domain name for it: http://sozi.guide

Like Sozi, the book will be published under a free license, and will be available on the web with no ads and no paywall.

 

However, writing the Sozi Guide in my spare time is not a viable option today. This is why I am starting this campaign to help me take as many days off from my job as necessary, so that I can focus on writing the book, create new examples and tutorials.

 

Thanks for your support. Please feel free to share your ideas about what you expect from the Sozi Guide .
