inkscape translation zone
by adam hyde 20 Oct '08

20 Oct '08

okeee.... http://translate.flossmanuals.net/write Is set up with three ready to go translations of Inkscape_en: de, br, ru I have left the rest because we need to train someone to do this and its best we do this with something real. This is the FM translation zone and it will change a bit in look and feel to differentiate it from FM in general. In essence it is a temp zone, the idea that we want complete FM lang communities, so if we use this for translations and build up a lot in any one lang we will then start discussing a full FM install for that lang ok...it is doubtless that we will need to tweak the FM translation zone. I dont know how br,ru, or de char sets work in the editor...thats the first thing to check...also I need to find a god way to be able change the lang of the editor etc so, patience is a wonderful virtue :) if u find something kookie let me know and we can have a look quite quickly to see how to resolve it... in the meantime my priorities are coffee and gym :)...back in a few hrs adam -- Adam Hyde FLOSS Manuals http://www.flossmanuals.net + 31 6 2808 7108

uniform content
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, Another thing that really should be fixed is non-uniformness of content in Tools section: every chapter on tools is written in its own way. What generic structure do you envision as best? Alexandre

New Designer
by Bradley Cooper 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi All! I'm a long time user of Inkscape and I'd really like to contribute as much as I can where possible. Most of my illustration work has been done with it. I'm actually a web/interface designer for a fortune 25 company outside philadelphia. I wasn't sure where/how to start even after looking the wiki. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be more than willing to dedicate some time. -- Bradley Cooper | Digital Design | willworkforart.net

illustrations
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, It's been a while since the BS is over, everybody must be feeling pretty exhausted ;-) There is a number of improvements still to be made. Thus this first in a queue of emails. Here is TODO for illustrations: 1. Work out visual style. 1.1. Color fill. We probably need a more or less fixed (let's say --- recommended) color palette that would take into consideration: a) that shape primitives should look uniformly across manual; b) that printed black and white (or, rather, greyscale) version should look good and colors should differ; c) add your point here ;-) We probably should even try to avoid using many color filled objects unless the purpose is to illustrate some kind of color transition. But I'm not married to this argument, so feel free to attack :-) My suggestion is to stick to Tango palette (which is exactly recommendation, not law). 1.2 Stroke width. Should be 2-5px, maybe? Ideas? 1.3 Size of objects. We probably do not want shape primitives to have a very much different size unless for specific reason. 1.4 Margins. Currently every screenshot has a different set of top/bottom/left/right margins. That means that the space between text and an illustration is different. 1.5 Something that I definitely forgot 2. Improve existing illustrations to match visual style 3. Add missing illustrations. Alexandre

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Fwd: Contributor for the brazilian portuguese
by Relsi Ramone 15 Jul '08

Yes my friend this is true, but the more information in Portuguese we have, better, in any way my priority will be the official documentation. I want to translate this because the author assured me that the work remain free on its site, only because of the English version already be available for access already is great, then if he took the trouble to provide this, I think that I can give the job to help with the translation into Portuguese, regardless of it making a profit on it or not, my anarchist spirit still think that knowledge should be free ( even if we have to release him ;] ) See you latter Meu Rei =D 2008/7/15 Valessio S Brito <valessio@...30...>: > cara, ae valeu por colar e ajudar a comunidade.. sério mesmo; > > :D > > se liga, como a elisa falou (ela é francesa mas fala português).. > tem um livro desse ae que não é livre.. > então sugiro você traduzir somente o que for livre.. > eu acredito que seja o User Manual: > http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/UserManual > > pois somente tem colaboradores do projeto aprontando ele.. > > não sei se o da FLOSS que tem copyright.. > enfim, > > contribuir para algo 'fechado' é esparro na minha opnião.. alguem pode > ganhar grana com seu trabalho, isso é ruim. > > > 2008/7/15 Relsi Ramone <relsi.ramone@...2...>: > > > > Beleza!! > > > > Vou ficar no aguardo então. > > > > Hoje recebi o Guide to a Vector Drawing Program -- DRAFT para tradução, > vou > > começar a trabalhar nele e quando estiver liberado a parte do Inkscape, > > então, vou intercalar as atividades. > > > > Au revoir, mon ami > > > > =) > > > > > > > > > > 2008/7/15 Elisa-yemanja <yemanja@...4...>: > >> > >> Le Tuesday 15 July 2008 15:04:30 Relsi Ramone, vous avez écrit : > >> > Hi friends, > >> > > >> > I am of the brazilian community of the Inkscape users, and would like > >> > help > >> > with the translation for the Brazilian Portuguese. > >> > > >> > =) > >> > >> Massa! > >> > >> Olha ainda estamos arreglando o manual para que esteja pronto para as > >> traduçaos. > >> > >> Pode esperar um poco pra que te dizemos cual parte ja esta parada e > pronta > >> para ser traduzida ? > >> > >> Obrigadinha :-) > >> > >> > >> Adam, > >> FM may host translation of the offical manual of Inkscape ?
