Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Manual] Terminology

22 May 2017

      Hi Marietta 0,
        Are you interested in helping?  You'd be welcome to help in any way you 
choose.  Start a glossary, translate, edit, there are several different kind of 
tasks to accomplish.
        If you're interested, let us know, and we can get you started.  Or you 
probably saw Maren's intial post about this, so you can follow the info in that 
message, to get a Floss manual account and etc.
        Anyway, we'd be happy to welcome you aboard  :-)
All best,
brynn

I think a glossary would be fantastic. It would be nice for everyone to
be on the same page when you are tying to help each other.  Just my two
cents.

Hi Friends,
         I think Maren mentioned to Carl about terminology (in a different
message) and I agree that one of the most important things we need to do, is 
use
the same terminology throughout the manual.  However, that said, I'm not sure
what the best way to accomplish that would be.
     Actually I was going to propose some changes to some of the section 

and
chapter titles, in this message.  But now that I think about it, that might be
putting the cart before the horse (as we say here, sometimes).
     Should we create a Glossary?  I mean as part of the manual?  Or 

should
we create a glossary that we just use for our own reference, as we write? 
Maybe
make it part of the wiki?  The gitlab wiki?
     Once or twice I've had a thought about making a glossary for the 

website
someday.  But until the website contains more instructional info, it probably
has no purpose yet.  But what I mean is that creating a glossary, whether
formally part of the manual, or just in the wiki, could also be used on the
website someday.
     If not glossary, what are some other ways we could keep ourselves all 

on
the same page regarding terminology?  What about one person (or 2?) who
primarily takes care of that?  Other ideas?
All best,
brynn
