The editor in chief leads the author/editor teams and assigns chapters to authors and editors according to their interest and their expertise. Once the team is organized, its goals are set and a writing freeze date is established, authors start working on their chapters while editors proofread in parallel. Throughout the authoring process, authors, editors, and the editor in chief are in contact with each other so they can deal with problems together, achieve a consistent style and voice throughout the book, and ensure the best long-term result. By the writing freeze date, the team should have finished the writing of the manual. Then the new manual release gets published!

When we begin work on a new manual release, we create a branch. The branch contains all the files needed by the authors and contributors. Every author or group of authors is working on their own section or chapter and they are responsible for writing new material or modify the existing content. Each file is saved as a LaTeX file with the extension <tt>.tex</tt> (<i>i.e.</i>, <tt>filename.tex</tt>). When the author modifies the file(s) and wants to share the changes with others, he/she commits the LaTeX file(s) to the branch. Other contributors pull or download the latest branch revision containing the newly modified files.
