> Shouldn't the translated manual be on en.flossmanuals.net? If we're going to use flossmanuals.net I need to register. Or can the translation be shown without needing login?
Maybe we need to start getting organized? In another topic, on the dev mailing list (https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/34995212/)someone is giving input about making Inkscape more beginner-friendly. While answering that, I was wondering if this new manual could be made with Inkscape SVG files. That might offer 2 advantages -- a) it would make having an internal manual more possible (packed with Inkscape, rather than on the internet), and b) it would have the possibility of being an interactive manual! Although I realize Inkscape's Text tool is still not quite up to par, as a text editor (doesn't auto-wrap unless flowed text is used - but then have to convert back to regular text, e.g.). Just a thought :-) Thanks, brynn -------------------------------------------------- From: "Sylvain Chiron" <chironsylv...@orange.fr> Sent: Friday, April 08, 2016 3:19 PM To: "Inkscape Docs" <inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-docs] FLOSS manual > Le 08/04/2016 15:14, Elisa Godoy de Castro Guerra a écrit : >> Hi, >> >> Courtneay want help in the translation of the initiation inkscape in >> french to translate it into english. >> FMfr host this project here : >> http://fr.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/_edit/ >> >> join our force. >> >> Cheers, >> Elisa > > Hi Elisa, > > Shouldn't the translated manual be on en.flossmanuals.net? > > Please be careful with the translation… Seeing something like ‘Draw > since geometric shapes’, I'm a bit afraid.
