I'm a professor in the English Department at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, and I'm planning to use Open Source Software documentation as a "real world" writing task for my Technical Writing Students this semester. I noticed your project was looking for documentation help and thought I would reach out. Some things you should know: - I'm not going to swamp you with student pull requests. Students will file their drafts with me, first, and then I will pass them on to you only if I think they have a reasonably good end product, and I have an ok from the project I was wondering: - If you would be interested in seeing the documentation drafts students produce - If there was any particular area of documentation you were particularly in need of Thanks so much for your time! ? --- Andy Famiglietti, PhD Assistant Professor of English, West Chester University http://copyvillain.org<http://copyvillain.org/> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Moreover, the user manual is still missing updates for the upcoming v2.10. Julien Hardelin would be a better judge of that though.

Do you have your own YouTube/Vidme/Minds channel? I find that individuals put up videos and that is how I learn (and re-learn) techniques in GIMP. Loyal user for 6 years.

The chances of getting a useful result are much higher if they focus on limited domains such as tools, plug-ins, resources, etc. On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 9:05 AM, Alexandre Prokoudine < alexandre.prokoud...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 6:27 PM, Famiglietti, Andrew A wrote: > > Hi Gimp Documentation List! > > > > > > I'm a professor in the English Department at West Chester University of > > Pennsylvania, and I'm planning to use Open Source Software documentation > as > > a "real world" writing task for my Technical Writing Students this > semester. > > I noticed your project was looking for documentation help and thought I > > would reach out.
