The Mifos User Manual is a core piece of documentation to assist users in properly configuring and using the Mifos software on a day to day basis. Functionality in Mifos 2.0, shipping in December 2010 needs to be reflected in the user manual which is currently only up to date with our Mifos 1.5 release. Significant new functionality including question groups, waiving interest, tracking PPI in Mifos, m-pesa integration, tally integration, and executing batch jobs through the UI all must be documented. We're seeking a volunteer with strong documentation/tech writing skills to update the User Manual to provide coverage of latest functionality. Our user manual is now easily maintained and updated in a convenient online tool, FLOSS Manuals.
