Hi Friends, As I'm writing up a quick draft to announce the upcoming hackfest, I suddenly wondered if it might be a good idea to write a short item about the recent new work on the new manual?

    I could do that, after I finish the hackfest article.  I'm thinking

Maren might be able to get all the details correct, the first time around? Although I don't mean to volunteer her. As I said, I could do it myself, if we decide to do it.

    I think it would help in community-building, to keep the wider

community up to date about these things. What do other manual workers and Docs list subscribers think?

All best, brynn

I have been holding off on any further editing and proofreading pending a resolution of the following information for myself.

There are places in the manual where additional information would be useful. Information that is not in the original version. Should it be added? If yes, to what extent should the content be tweaked?

Also ... there was some discussion about reorganizing the manual, changing chapter order and the like.

Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I've only recently joined the manual effort.

It would help to know if the project is mostly about translation or if it's more extensive than that. Guidance please.
