And our local chapter members are currently talking about the possibility of publishing Korean QGIS manual in real book  & e-book. We believe that publishing Korean QGIS manual will increase the interest & awareness of QGIS here in Korea.

Wow! Awesome work! Please be aware of the ongoing work to convert the
documentation of QGIS into the sphinx/rst format.

There is no need to ask permission but it would be nice to:

- notify Otto when it is ready so he can put a link to it on the QGIS web site
- if you are selling the hard copies for profit, it would be nice if
you could assign some of the profits to QGIS project. Jean-Roc can
tell you more about how they manage this with the Frence printed
manual.

Also remember that you should not remove the attribution of authors or
publish it under a different license to the original works.
