Thanks to the very good work of Richard Limebear G3RWL the first edition of the 'FUNcube Handbook' is now available
The primary mission of the FUNcube-1 CubeSat is to provide a telemetry beacon that can be easily received by schools and colleges for educational outreach purposes. When not in educational mode the spacecraft switches on a communications transponder for use by radio amateurs.
It is presently being translated into French and AMSAT-UK would be delighted to receive offers of translation into other languages.
Contact AMSAT-UK here.

The handbook provides an initial introduction to the project overall and the FUNcube-1 spacecraft in particular. An updated edition may be available sometime after the launch which is currently planned for November 21, 2013.
