Re: [Inkscape-docs] content on booksprint

- Do the chapters need to be a particular length (Adam)?

As for the issue of media, I think we should be concentrating on digital for the moment, getting something that makes sense for use online and download (including distribution with the software). I like the idea of using a simple type of chapter, though I could see a possibility to make use of sub-headings. However, I'm sure we can avoid them if we try hard ;) After quick glance at your list of chapters, it looks fairly complete and well-thought-out. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about organization at the moment, just getting all of the important content in, since we can organize it however we like later. I think if we can settle on a rough list of chapters soon, we can get some of the current content into them and start from there, thus saving a lot of work later that can be spent on other things.
