[Manual]: Beginners' Guide Status
by Maren Hachmann 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi to all of you who are interested in the Beginners' Guide! I'd like to give you another status update about our progress on the book: What happened since the last status update? ------------------------------------------- - JP read over the first section, from a user perspective (and found no grave issues with it! :D) - Sergio joined the team, by commenting on an issue at gitlab. He will help in checking for hurdles for beginning Inkscape users, from a non-native speaker point-of-view, and (I hope) also with consistency checking. He has already made a good start, finding some inconsistencies and bugs within the second section of the book. - brynn proofread the largest part of the second section, to make sure it's using proper English! - Elisa, while in Paris at the Inkscape Hackfest that is currently going on (see also: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/06/06/hackfest-2017-paris/), had a go at separating single images and adding lots of new ones! - Jabier brushed up the CSS a bit, and tested export options :) See below for a link to the latest pdf, with some splashes of color! - I have updated screenshots and uploaded images with translated file names for section 1 and 2, and am currently working my way through the pictures in section 3 of the book. What can you help with at this stage? ------------------------------------- We need proof-readers, the more the merrier! The only requirements are that you need to be a native speaker of English and need to have a basic knowledge in Inkscape usage. We also need someone who can help with the book layouting, if possible with some experience in preparing books for print and/or screen and some knowledge of CSS. There's a lot of room for creativity here :) And last but not least, the book needs consistency checkers, who make sure that things fit together throughout the book, and that the terms used match those in the Inkscape glossary. This is really important, so the book will look like 'one piece', even though it's being worked on by different people. If you want to join the team, comment on the issue that you'd like to help with here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues or just reply to this email. All book chapters are short, and work is shared - you can opt to take on just one or two chapters! If we have more people who can help with that, we'll have the book ready in a breeze! Alpha Version ------------- The current draft of the manual is available for reading at: http://write.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/_draft/ Jabier's latest pdf version of the manual is available for download at: http://objavi.booktype.pro/data/books/startwithinkscape-en-2017.06.27-23.32… See you on flossmanuals :), Kind Regards, Maren

I am planning an installFest for late July here in Sydney. We have a meet-space sponsor in the CBD. I am thinking of limiting the attendance to a ration of Inkscape Coaches to Inkscape Installees to 1:8. Are there any Inkscape Coaches in Sydney who can attend and raise the attendance limit? Thanks to everything and everyone Inkscape! Cya, MarkT The Meetup is SVG-AU --

custom default not retaining zoom level
by brynn 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi Friends, While helping someone on a forum regarding a custom default template, I made a new default.svg template, to test what they reported. I was not able to reproduce their issue, but I might have discovered a different one. I set the zoom level to 100%, changed display units, and switched to landscape orientation. (Also changed bg color and alpha, and added some text, so as not to be confused with my existing custom default.) Everything worked as I expected, except it does not retain the zoom level. My existing custom default does open at 100%, as I expect. But this new one that I made with 0.92.1 does not. Not sure if I should attach it here, but I'll upload it, in case you need to see it. https://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/default-brynn.svg (Of course when I tested, it was named default.svg. Just added my name into the title for clarity.) Windows 7, 64-bits, Inkscape 0.92.1, 64-bits, exe installer. Shouldn't it be expected to keep the zoom level at which I saved it? Thank you very much, brynn

[Manual] Update
by Maren Hachmann 19 Jun '17

19 Jun '17

Hi Manual folks (and those who want to join us), we have reached a major milestone today: TRANSLATIONS ARE DONE :D 59 of 59 chapters translated! :) The only thing that is left to do for this step is to remove that task from the Community ToDo list on the Inkscape website ;-) (this one: https://inkscape.org/contribute/to-do-list/). I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'm so happy that we're now through with this, and now have a preliminary version available for people to look at. I also would like to thank Sylvain Chiron and Hinerangi Courtenay, who worked on the translations of the first section, for their help with this huge task. What else happened this week? ============================= - brynn's news item about the manual effort has been polished a bit further, reviewed by its author, and was published. You can read it all here now: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2017/06/06/new-inkscape-beginners-manual/ (it has also been translated to four other languages by our website translators' team). - JP, a new team member joined us as a test user on gitlab. JP wants to help by giving us feedback on how the book chapters work for new Inkscape users. - Jabier played a bit with setting up cover images on flossmanuals. - Brynn started proofreading, and has looked over the first three chapters in the second section already :) What's next? ============ The next tasks concern images and proofreading, and can be done in parallel. Images: ------- - pictures that we will keep will need English file names. These are (currently) all pictures that do not contain any (French) text. - pictures that need to be replaced or edited need to be re-made. This concerns all pictures with French text in them. For some, we may get away with just cutting off the French text, and putting its translation next to the image in the book. Others need to be shot again. If you can help with any of the image related tasks, please find more info at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues/16 and comment there, so we can organize who does what. Proofreading: ------------- - as you all know, the translator of most of the chapters (me) is not a native English speaker. Also, while I have fixed and updated a lot while translating already, there remain parts in the text that could be rephrased and polished a bit. We need your help with proofreading now. If you are a native English speaker, please comment at one of the section-related issues at gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues Current status for taking a peek ================================ The latest alpha version of our work is available for reading at http://write.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/_draft/_v/2.6/introductio… If you want to join the team, it's not too late - just send a message to the list here, or comment at gitlab, and we can get you set up. Due to the nature of the book, all chapters are very short, so work can be shared easily. Kind Regards, Maren
