Hi,
I have updated the to-do list based on the feedback from Alexandre and
Joshua (see below). A couple of comments: based on Joshua's reply about
first updating existing chapters before writing any new chapters I have
labeled any content that would require a new chapter so these can be
left until existing chapters have been updated. I have left the
translation of the guides grids and snapping chapter in with the
existing chapters as I feel that it is a necessary chapter to add.
If everyone thinks the list looks good then we can ask Adam if he will
create a to-do list for us on the manual page to help keep track of what
still needs to be done. I have already made notes where I have noticed
that people have already started making changes.
Cheers,
John
