Hi Roy and everyone, thank you for allowing us to draw from your tutorials.
For adapting your terminology, I'd like to refer you to the Inkscape Wiki at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_glossary. If you like, you can also join us in editing the manual directly. We do right now - aside from translators - have a need for people who: - can polish the English - can take care of a more homogenous structuring of each chapter - can make screenshots of an English version, and put the image descriptions right beside the corresponding screenshots (they are currently all lumped together). - can rename + reupload + relink the good screenshots to use English file names - can check links in translated parts, and add meaningful hover texts to them, and also make them open in a new tab/window, so the user doesn't leave the manual altogether when clicking on them - can rewrite the outdated chapter about keyboard shortcuts - possibly: can write a chapter about the Align+Distribute dialog - possibly: can suggest some useful changes to the Inkscape preferences that help new users - possibly: can write a short chapter about Inkscape installation - possibly: can write a short chapter about where to get further help + learn more - can curate the proposed glossary Anyone who reads this: You can pick a task that you feel comfortable with, and start right away :) Kind Regards, Maren Am 18.05.2017 um 23:40 schrieb bandu...@efn.org: > Thank you, all of you, for putting in quality time, thought, and > discussion on The Manual.
