The Inkscape Booksprint is over!!
We've worked hard (especially the last couple of days) to get a usable manual, and we believe that we've accomplished that.

Of course, you'll see that the current table of contents has a large number of incomplete chapters. Our goal was to get the most basic chapters finished and usable, so all the Introduction and Tools chapters are fairly complete and in good form. Some are actually excellent. There are other chapters as well which are finished, such as chapters on text, styling objects, etc.
You will see that there is some inconsistency in writing and visual style also. This booksprint was a great opportunity to work some of these problems out, so content written earlier and quickly does not strictly follow guidelines that we established, but these things will be worked out as we continue adding content.
The exciting thing is that now we have a functional manual repository that will aid in keeping various languages' manuals in sync and that is really very simple to use, so that anyone can help to add new content and keep existing content updated!
The French manual is currently lagging (translations will be following, this time, in an amazing reversal, from English to French) and current French content will continue being updated and converted to English as we go.
Again, if anyone is interested in helping, please contact the manual maintainers on the inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list to find out what needs most to be done. (Some of us will be sort of taking a break for a while, though, since we're tired from lots of hard work :)
Thanks to all who helped support and will continue to support the manual effort!!
Thanks especially go to Adam Hyde and FLOSS Manuals for making the booksprint a possibility and a reality. Adam has been a huge help, giving direction, taking suggestions and implementing new features on-the-fly! Thanks a ton, Adam!
