Open Advice describes itself as a knowledge collection from a wide variety of Free Software projects. It answers the question what its 42 prominent contributors would have liked to know when they started so you can get a head-start no matter how and where you contribute.

You can down load their valuable content from the Open Advice website.  In the future, you would be able to even buy it in a book form from Amazon
