Hi Joshua,
I've only picked up on the tail end of this conversation and just wanted to clarify a couple of things. For those of us currently writing on the FM Inkscape Manual, what are the practical implications of this. Can we continue on fleshing out and refining the current manual or do we need a development of .47 so we can make sure any new material is compatible with the new release?
Cheers,

If nobody has any objections, I'm pushing the "branch" button ;)
From now on, let's write for .47
Some things to be careful of: let's be sure a new feature is really going to be in the next release before spending much time on it, and let's make sure that the details of a new feature are finalized before we finalize our documentation of such features :)

I agree this is THE choice. 0.47 is pretty coming soon, and there are some huge work to do on new stuffs improving old tools (pen...). These are very visible options and i think this should be completely documented first.
We could aim at having an uptodate FM manual as soon as possible, even if not daeling with the whole software( but was it already the case with 0.46 ?)

Just one question: what will happen to translations after branching?

No worries, it's easy to forget!
Mostly the text will be the same. Where it's different is generally with new features or some minor differences with existing features.
Basically, you can handle this two ways:
1) build from svn or use a ready-compiled dev version if it's available for your platform 2) just write and if there are any discrepancies you notice, ask the list
I'd recommend the first, since it's lots of fun (and very useful) to see the new stuff being added. If you need any help with that, you'd probably do best to ask on the dev list since you're on Windows. However, I believe an attempt to keep regular svn packages on win is underway, so it might be as easy as downloading the latest package.
