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

manual in place...check check

hey I removed the chapters marked 'incomplete' from the index. This included the following chapters: Render (Effects Menu) Generate from path Visualize Path Tile Clone Boolean Path Operations Rows and Columns Grids and Guides Transform Color ALL bitmap chapters XML Editor View Modes Document Properties Customisation Glosaary Hot keys cheat sheet Inkscape Community Inkscape and Wikipedia You can see it all here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Inkscape/WebHome I have also renamed index items as they had explanations in the titles. The FM index system at this time cant display this well so we need to keep titles short. Even though I removed a lot the index is still thorough. If anyone can go through the chapters with me and check things we can have a version online within a few days. I really think we need to do this as otherwise all that good work will be out of date and never used. Anyone want to chip in? :) adam -- Adam Hyde Founder FLOSS Manuals http://www.flossmanuals.net

Hi Adam > so...the floss manuals bookstore is open for business...when shall we > put the inkscape book in it? Well, both EN and FR manuals need lots of work before adding them to the bookstore... I'll try to free some time after january 2009 for the french part, but I can't do anything before. The exported PDF is 200+ pages! Seems huge to me, even if the subject is complex and wide. What about making it more compact, so that it could be easier and faster to release as a finished manual? And work on the parts we put aside afterward? -- Nicolas

Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Inkscape-user] Filter effects: just a simple overview
by Joshua Facemyer 02 Aug '08

Thomas, Would you be interested in helping the documentation team by writing a short description of each effect and saving your images individually for use in the manual? (even just the images would help, but I figured if you're excited about it, you might want to help more ;) If you're interested, I can even help you write the chapter yourself in the Floss Manuals Inkscape manual.
