While you're saying that, I'll sometimes use: git clean -x -d -f to remove all files which were generated during the setup or install process to start from scratch.

[Gimp-docs] Most annoying thing
Hi, I've just browsed a bit in the archives and remembered, that I was asking what the most annoying thing while editing the manual was for every author: https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-docs/2008-February/001091.html Almost everyone thought the languages mixed up in one XML were very annoying. This has now changed with a big effort (thanks for Ulf for his time investing in supporting programs). Now two years later: What is now the most annoying thing? The most annoying thing for me is, that I can't spend as much time on the project as I would like to spend. I haven't made any contributions to the manual for a while, also due to the fact that I'm just lost in the current editing process. The wiki is down and doesn't seem to return anymore. Maybe a better space to invite potential contributors would be to open a space on the GNOME wiki. I'm also watching the development of Mallard closely: http://projectmallard.org/ maybe something which we could benefit from. Anyways. I'm still following the mailing list and try to help as much as I can! Thanks for the good work!

[Gimp-docs] Invalid XML for a few languages
Hi, I've tried to built the HTML again for all languages and stumbled over a few error messages. It looks like the system creates invalid XML for a few languages which leads to errors. Esp unmaintained languages are affected (sv, es, zh_CN). It seems to me, that there is no easy way anymore to validate XML? If the errors occur only because of unmaintained languages, I would suggest to remove them from building HTML.

I would like to do that more often, which also means that the online documentation can have a few errors. It is the current snapshot of the ongoing translation/development. So... for me it would be much easier if people let me know if something weird happens on docs.gimp.org. I'll try to check first before/after updating the online docs to avoid any major trouble. I would have liked some kind of a buildbot approach, to make automated builds/updates after each push (or nightly whatever). But unfortunately the server is not going to make it, as far as I know.

The buildbot could "make" a nightly update of the current snapshot of the HTML version. So, if you need some numbers, a partition/folder with at least 1GB of free hard disk space would be a good start and IMHO it would make sense if we could share the buildbot with the developers.

It depends how good you know XML, Docbook and git. A good start is by getting a copy of the current work: git clone git://git.gnome.org/gimp-help-2 Afterwards have a look. Translations are stored in the .po files. That's where arabic will go in.

Because the HTML is transformed by using the XSL stylesheets, we probably have to have a look at DocBook to set a parameter/option which finally results in an HTML file with this information.

[Gimp-docs] Revamp of docs.gimp.org
Hi, I reorganized docs.gimp.org a bit and merged the downloads page with the index. A lot of people asked about printable documentation and couldn't really find the releases - I hope this will be easier now. I still can't upload/update the PDFs for the current work. Not much space left on wilber. Hope this will be changed with the new server soon.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to split up the documentation into two books: the first would be a function reference and the second a more helpful tutorial based manual. Currently the manual is a reference with helpful tutorials. After that you could address people who are just looking for a quick help for a topic and people who would like to start working with GIMP step by step.

The current manual is currently two types of books. Part I and II is a descriptive manual with tutorials. It describes how to do "things" with GIMP. The Part which is currently labeled or mislabeled as a "function reference" is a reference for almost every item you can find in GIMP. Perhaps "User Interface Reference" or simply "GIMP Reference" is more descriptive.

Just keep in mind with those changes, that the GIMP Help browser uses almost the same stylesheets. Perhaps it is not the desirable goal to have a compact layout for the user who downloaded the manual or uses the help browser to browse the manual.

[Gimp-docs] nightly updates on docs.gimp.org
Hi, just like to inform you, that docs.gimp.org is now being updated nightly. Mooball IT in Brisbane is providing a buildout server (running Hudson), and I'm running a continous build for about a month to see if everything is stable. I've added a script today to sync docs.gimp.org with the latest HTML built. So - if you find anything not beeing updated, let me please know. If there are any security concerns with an rsync + ssh connection to wilber, let me also please know. This nightly update is only temporary, until we can move it to the developers setup buildbot.

No, I'm doing all languages, but syncing each html/* folder alone. Because english is the `master` language for the book, I thought the timestamp would fit in the english html folder. It's the timestamp, after every language was built.

[Gimp-docs] empty PDFs for CJK languages
Hi, so far I'm hitting a wall with the PDF creation of CJK languages of our documentation. Some of you may already found out that the Japanese or Korean versions of the manual have no text, other than the latin or untranslated sections. It looks to me, that this is because the used font (free sans) simply does not provide the needed characters for this, which means we need a different font. I tried Cyberbit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbit), which everyone of you can try. The Japanese and Korean now show text. The dblatex documentation says, it can use the CJK package, but in my opinion it is not in use as I switched to XeTeX, which supports UTF-8 and therefore no need for CJK and custom fonts. Three unresolved issues: * Cyberbit is not published under a free license * It is therefore not available under every system * The Japanese text is overflowing the right margin, making the PDF still not very useful. If you want to try Cyberbit, download it: http://aol-4.vo.llnwd.net/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/windows/ Install the font (I copied it into my ~/.fonts) and add: \setmainfont{Bitstream Cyberbit} \setsansfont{Bitstream Cyberbit} \setmonofont{Bitstream Cyberbit} to stylesheets/plainprint.xsl and rerun the pdf creation (eg. LINGUAS="ja" make pdf). Now - what to do? Any ideas?
