Hi folks,
I integrated Bruce and Aurélien's comments to the PR, so from my
perspective this is ready to go :) (If someone disagrees and has more
comments, I'll be happy to modify as well, obviously :) ).
Cheers!

Hi folks,
the week has been busier than expected, but I'm not working on monday, and
I expect to have a better idea by Monday evening. A priori, unless there's
a large surprise, I should be able to ask for a PR by the end of next week
for filmic RGB, including reorganization to fit with filmic 2.6.
Aurélien: your content is very clear and very well structured - I wish I

Hi Aurélien,
Yup, the arrangement is still on - it's a bit of the "silly part of the
year", so time may be more tight than I'd like, but it should work out.
I'll have a look at what you have already and I'll come back to you and
Bruce with what I feel is feasible on my end in the next week or so.

I agree with that, and I have some more arguments in favor on top of
consistency :)
* Microsoft says: "Don't combine keyboard and mouse actions as if they were
keyboard shortcuts unless space is limited. For example, don't use
Shift+click. Instead, use Select Shift while clicking ….". I tend to
disagree, because to me these ARE shortcuts, and I feel that "Shift+click"
instead of "Press shift while clicking" is more readable both for people
who don't care about the shortcut (can be skipped more easily) and for
people who do care about the shortcut (it is presented as a "single unit"
instead of something that needs to be explicitly parsed). Admittedly, I do
not know how this reads for people who do not have a certain amount of
"computer fluency", which would be my concern (and which probably is
Microsoft's). I would assume that people without that amount of computer
fluency is not necessarily the target of Darktable anyway :)
* From a "documentation writing" perspective, it does feel harder to me a
priori to go for the sentence without having things getting cumbersome,
especially if the sentence is already convoluted (which shouldn't happen,
but, well, nobody's perfect :) ). And "rotate the wheel", in particular,
feels very unnatural to me. This is however a gut feeling issue, and from a
non-native speaker as well, so it may not be shared. (And I'm right now
trying to think of the French translation of such a turn of phrase...
"appuyer sur shift en faisant tourner la molette"? h. Shift+molette is
vastly preferable in my opinion.)
* If these mouse shortcuts are ever displayed in the UI, I'd definitely
expect "ctrl+click" or the like, and not a full sentence - and it would
feel natural to me to have consistency there as well.

Cheers,
Isabelle

Hi all,
If there's an easy way to split the work and to share it, I'd be more
than happy to help - it's more than time I start contributing to the
awesomeness that is Darktable, and I do have a fair amount of experience
writing doc (although English is not my native language, so English
proofreading would be required). Videos explaining what's new and how it
works would be tremendously helpful! (this is mostly how I work when I
write our software documentation these days at work...). I'm assuming
individual module documentation at least can be delegated individually.
@Aurélien - considering your name, I'm assuming you're a native French
speaker - if the work is divided beforehand and it's easier for you, you
could provide info in French to me as well.
Best regards,
Isabelle
