Inkscape is gluten free, dairy free, and completely Vegan. I think.
Are vectors and gradients considered Vegan?

Okay, finished an initial version of the cover for the beginners
guide.
Yes, it's all in Inkscape. :)
Here's a png:

Can someone help Maren?
I feel like a news article and a deviantArt post would be
useful
for
drumming up volunteers.
But also, for a project director when just getting started,
it's
useful
to hand out jobs, so people know that they are needed and that
they
don't have to think too much about which of the jobs they
should do
while figuring out the software/editing platform.
Thoughts?

CR, I have been translating (and fixing contents as I go) 1-2
chapters
each day for the last 2.5 weeks and am more than halfway
through
(35
chapters done, 24 left to do). There wasn't anyone else to be
seen
around, after the first week, when one person translated a
chapter
(unfortunately they picked the only one that needs to be
rewritten
from
scratch, because Inkscape changed), and two people proofread
a
couple
of
chapters (thank you!!!). Well, and a couple of days ago,
someone
seems
to have accidentally wiped all the notes on the book, that
were
supposed
to help get people started (or maybe it was a platform bug).
I'd be glad to see some proofreading and
styling/screenshooting
people
get on board, so we can continue seamlessly after I'm through
with
translating.
I'm a bit disappointed about everyone being so engaged and
vocal
about
helping/liking the action, and now me working on it alone for
...
2
weeks
already.
But that's normal, I guess - it was the reason why I haven't
started
this earlier, and I felt ready to take it on now, no matter
what.
Anyway, I'm going to continue to plow through, then
translations
will
be
ready before the hackfest. In parallel, I'm going to be
plowing
through
my new garden, and to help fix up someone else's house, so I
expect
to
not have time for much else.
I'd be glad if someone could try and reengage people to help
with
the
manual (preferably people who are able to work independently
and
know
Inkscape inside out, or who concentrate on something they
really
do
well, like fixing up language or styling).
There are more than enough open tasks:
from CSS to cover design, to screenshooting, to consistency
checking
and
layouting, to improving on my more or less weird English, to
adding
missing content (or perhaps, translating, of course).
And yet, when we do this, I think it's important to take care
to
honor
the underlying 'Keep it simple and as short as possible'
concept
of
the
book, which would make it possible for young teenagers to use
it
to
get
started, without much theoretical ballast.
Elisa seems to have invested a *lot* of thought into how she
built up
the chapters and when to start teaching which concept. I
suspect
her
concept stems from experience in teaching live Inkscape
courses.

I'd say let's wait and do a progress report, so we can say
that
we're
making progress on it, rather than just that we've decided
to
do
it. I
plan on helping this area of the project much more after I
handle
the
hackfest swag. It would be better to have a more or less
complete
manual before we announce it to the public, unless it's a
call
for
help with it.
If it's a call for help with that area of the project, then
go
ahead, though. :)
Thanks for the amazing amount of work you're doing for the
project,
brynn. It's definitely helping drive my own motivation for
Inkscape
project work. :)
