Hi Sylvain,
The first is, why are the tutorials in a different order from the Inkscape program tutorial submenu's?
- They have been added in the order they were added to the program, I think.
I guess they're ordered by publication date on the website, but this detail is quite obsolete now; so could I reorder the tutorials on the website to match the order in Inkscape's âTutorialsâ submenu, which is a bit more logical?
- Yes, please go ahead. Would you also reorder for the other languages, if you understand those - or post a message to the translators' mailing list when the change was made? - Ah, saw your offer at the bottom now. Thanks, that would be good!
Second thing: why are all 3rd-level headings on the âBooks and Manualsâ page underlined? Here, my thought is that it was initially decided to underline the books' titles. But the keyboard shortcut and command line references are not really books bound to an author⦠I would also recommend that we use italic, as those thick lines have a look which is a bit hard. Then we would have Tav's manual and the book in italic.
- It was just a style decision made by the editor at the time. No specific reason. I like it as it is, but of course there are many ways to display something.
By the way, aren't there more books about Inkscape? On Packt Publishing's website, I see there are at least 4 books: https://www.packtpub.com/all?search=inkscape One of them is evoked in an old news article on the Inkscape website: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2011/04/30/inkscape-048-illustrators-cookbook-a... Maybe we should have a single heading for all books on Packt Publishing to avoid promoting it. Let me see⦠Among the 4, 3 are by Bethany Hiitola and list her (or his?) book with bullets. We could also have a subsection for Bethany and another for the cookbook. What do you prefer?
- There are. There are *a lot* more books. And they are language-specific. And I wouldn't want to have them all listed there (or rather, I wouldn't want to have hundreds of links to amazon or some publishing house).
I'd rather like to promote books by people who have a connection to the Inkscape community, so if you want to ask around on the Inkscape mailing lists, and gather a few current ones that were written by people who answer, that would make a nicer list. I think we once tried something like this - maybe with some research you will find the discussion, I don't remember every part of it now.
For my two things, I'll deal with all languages (unless anybody wants to help).
- Thanks!
For the books, I'll call the help of translators as the text will change.
- That's fine. It would be nice to only do that when the 'project' of getting new books on the page is finished, so translators don't have to translate it in many steps, but only in one.
