Good idea.
I would say that what we're working today (including these three
initial chapters) is the User Manual. We talk a bit the installation,
but is oriented at the general - non-technical - user, so everyone can
install the system

It sounds great. I would basically have

- User Manual ( including the three chapters we have already and all
the modules that you mentioned, separated by the functionality per
module. )
- Technical Manual ( administrion, security, backups, high
availability, reporting )
- Trouble shooting
- FAQ

What do you think ?

All your suggestions sound good. This is my first time using GNU Health and writing a manual, your guidance will be greatly appreciated. Is the previous documentation still relevant and can it be used as a base for the new documentation. How do we move forward?

Regards and thanks

Ronald
