Oh, well thanks for your kind words :-)

It could be both an announcement and a call for more help. At least the translation part, I wonder if we could use more help?

As I and I think others have said, this would be a great gateway project for bringing in new talent and having more active users.

Although perhaps there's some reason that I don't see, not to bring in beginners to the development side, on this particular project?

Thanks, brynn

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. :)

Hi Friends, As I'm writing up a quick draft to announce the upcoming hackfest, I suddenly wondered if it might be a good idea to write a short item about the recent new work on the new manual?

   I could do that, after I finish the hackfest article.  I'm thinking

Maren might be able to get all the details correct, the first time around? Although I don't mean to volunteer her. As I said, I could do it myself, if we decide to do it.

   I think it would help in community-building, to keep the wider

community up to date about these things. What do other manual workers and Docs list subscribers think?

All best, brynn
