Tutorial updates - Calligraphy is mostly done, and I've drafted a few of the other updates to the other tutorials but that stuff definitely needs more work (not even in my own docbook checkout, still drafting in OO.org). I will have the Calligraphy one uploaded in a couple days. Depending on how much time I have this weekend, I may be able to knock the rest of them out by next week.
I'm *very* interested in these updates. Are they very much 0.44 specific? At least tracing tutorial needs update on SIOX.
The reason is: we are having a new OpenOffice.ru box release soon. Inkscape and Scribus are to be on that CD, and Inkscape's tutorials should be in the printed book. I'm now proofreading their translation into Russian and I have to be done by 21st, April.
So, do I have to watch for your updates? If most changes are not 0.44 specific, is there anything I could do to help you having updates be out sooner?
I had brought this up before but did not see a response... should we consider including the Guide to Inkscape? If we're lucky it's already in docbook which would be nice. If we do, do we go for the gtk help browser or svg like our tutorials?
Does Inkscape actually support hyperlinks the way browsers support them?
GIMP's source docs are in DocBook/XML as well. So maybe xsltprocessing the book to HTML and reusing GIMP's help browser would be good. But then we are to have two types of reading help (SVG and docbrowser), which is not good.
