BRL-CAD was selected to participate in the 2013 Google Summer of Code Doc Camp. A team of contributors got together in California, brainstormed, and wrote an entire book for BRL-CAD in just a few days. They created a guide for contributing to BRL-CAD.
You will design a layout for the book. You will likely need to research the different structural elements in the book book (i.e., code blocks, blockquotes, special quotes for commands, for manpages, etc.) and everything around like a front page, the font, etc. You will likely need to use the actual Doc Camp book content (at least some pages) to demonstrate a complete layout design.
Submit your design as a .pdf, .odt, set of images, or ask about other formats. Submit an editable format so we can make changes if needed. You're welcome to submit a rendered preview too.

I would like to work on this task.

The work on this task is ready to be reviewed.
This task took a whole lot longer than expected. Hope the outcome is satisfying.
Some of us don't have access to Office, and it looks like LibreOffice doesn't render this correctly.
Uploaded pdf file.
Keep an eye out for comments from Sean, who's much better at design than me, but it looks good! Nice job!
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
