Recently I made a clone project similar djangobook.com, but I add some
extra management features, for example:

Multi-User
Multi-Book

Many things I borrowed from djangobook.com, especially the css. But
the ajax functionality I use jQuery, and also implement a similar
comment dialog. But I'm not a css expert, so if you want the page in
IE, the effect is very bad. So you'd better view the page in Firefox
browser. And I didn't test it in Mac system.

The project is hosted on code.google.com:
http://code.google.com/p/openbookplatform/
If anyone like it, you can download the source code. The project is
released in MIT license.

And here is a screenshot:

This project has some bugs and some features also need to improve, for
example: comment management.

What version of Django does it support, dev or 0.95?
I was looking for some example in Django and jQuery. Thank You.

I've tested it a bit.

+ nice and good way to present content, big sets of content :)
- from SVN I get "openbookplatform" folder which needs to be changed
to "openbook" ;)
- chinese characters / which I don't see:
http://www.fotosik.pl/showFullSize.php?id=4030c8e68eb7e4f6
- what is "Num:" in chapters ? I see it beeing used as slugs in URL
but the field isn't validates as slugs - allowing non asci/latin-1
chars, I got:
http://localhost:8080/book/1/dgfgfdsss łółę/

Hi Limodou,

The djangobook.com CSS is *not* available for copying, so please
change your project so that it uses your own custom CSS. Design theft
isn't cool.

Thanks,
Adrian

I'll change them.

Num, I call it chapter order num, so just like chapter01, chapter02,
and I'll use it to order the chapters. It's just a CharField. You
should use something like 'chapter01', or simple 'c01', 'c02'.

I'v update the code and css, so if there are still some unsuitable
places, please point them out.
