So am I the only native English speaker working on docs, then?
Yes. Are you afraid ;)
Absolutely not - who's afraid of a couple of Frenchies? ;)
I really want to begin working on this. I'll need information on format, etc., from somebody who knows all that. I'd also like to put all this info somewhere on the "we need help" page, because it's not there right now and it's frustrating to try to find out this stuff when the info is not there.
I feel exactly, that's why i open French_Version in the wiki. But i'm still noob in docbook. Hope Alexandre help us :)
I'm a noob too. Are we writing in docbook format directly? For my first patches, should I send them in docbook format? Any suggestions for a docbook editor?
My answer : Yes i write in docbook directly but it's horrible and i think the developer are sadism to use docbook for tuto and manual. Your fisrt patch, you can send here in inkscape-devel. We see after who see it and who commit it.
Do you know make patch ? You can send the patch in txt. Doc book editor : i use kate or kwrite.
Are you unix user ? I'm on linux.
I use Gentoo - the real man's linux. (That's just a joke, no offence intended :)
Do you mean, write in docbook, but send the text file of the docbook xml to the list?
I don't know how to make a patch, but there's the nifty svn tutorial on the website that I think I'll try once I get something ready. But feel free to tell me a quick and easy way.
