Hi Brynn, There have been several threads about this over the last few years. Sylvain will need to use the search functionality of the archives (key words: the mentioned names, and 'manual') if he wants to know more about this.
Brynn, it's now possible to edit the open manual any time. Just create an account here: http://en.flossmanuals.net and then you can edit this: http://en.flossmanuals.net/inkscape/ Kind regards, Maren Am 29.03.2016 um 01:05 schrieb Brynn: >> Also be sure to read up on this topic in the archives of this list to >> understand the current status a little better (messages by Elisa de >> Castro Guerra and jazzynico). > > Which topic? > > As I've indicated in earlier discussions, I'd be happy to contribute to any > effort in helping to write an open manual :-) > > All best, > brynn > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "Maren Hachmann" <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, March 28, 2016 4:03 PM > To: <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Inkscape-docs] Translate the manual > >> Dear Sylvain, >> >> I think for this, you would have to contact Tavmjong Bah directly, as is >> stated here: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/ >> >> For your decision, you need to know that the book is under a proprietary >> licence, and hasn't been updated for Inkscape 0.91. >> >> If you're looking for a collaborative project, there is also this manual: >> >> http://en.flossmanuals.net/inkscape/ >> >> which is licenced freely, but is also outdated, unfortunately (last >> edited in 2010, I think). >> >> This manual can be improved and translated freely.
