[Inkscape-docs] Website: News plugin revamped
Dear fellow website translators and editors, Martin has spent quite some time on revamping the website's news plugin, to improve the workflow for editors and translators, fix the current bugs which prevented us from editing/translating/creating news, and to make editing the news more comfortable. I really like how it has turned out, but look for yourself! These are the highlights: - News can now be created / edited / translated by accessing an extra menu item in the cms toolbar at the top of the page: It's labelled: "News" ;) (see screenshot) - Excerpts can now contain links, and other formatted content. - The editing interface allows you to use the WYSIWYG editor instead of needing to type in plain html. You can now add links by selecting text, then clicking on the link symbol, and style the text. Images or videos must be inserted via source mode, just like before. - Missing news translations are filled in by their English counterparts There's one known issue, due to a bug in the editor: - double-clicking to edit links will give you a dialog that doesn't allow you to edit anything. It also doesn't allow you to click on any close buttons in the dialog. -> To not loose your changes, just click on 'Save' for the parent dialog, and open it again after that. Instead of double-clicking, you can use one of the following options: - right-click on a link, select 'Edit Link' from the context menu - place the cursor somewhere in the link, then click on the link icon - or, lastly, switch to source mode and edit the http://example.com";>link text element in plain html. And one small inconvenience: After publishing a translation for the first time, you'll get a 404 (page not found) error. You can just remove the wrong (english) slug from the url, and hit enter, then you get to a day archive for your language that shows the article you just translated.

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project, there is also this manual: http://en.flossmanuals.net/inkscape/ which is licenced freely, but is also outdated, unfortunately (last edited in 2010, I think).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. The website offering to do this has only recently been updated. It seems it's working again now (I tried some months before, but couldn't get an account, yesterday it worked). 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). There's also a French introductory book here: http://fr.flossmanuals.net/initiation-inkscape/_info/ Kind regards, Maren Am 28.03.2016 um 21:47 schrieb Sylvain Chiron: > Hello all, > > I'd like to know how I could translate the most recent version of the > manual /Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program/ into French. > I looked at this page: > http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/DocumentationTranslation#User_Manual > Do I need an account on Sourceforge to access the XML document? > I tried to checkout the URL with Subversion and it didn't work. > > Also, the current French translation: > http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html_fr/index.html > indicates that the last release of the manual is 0.15 (and I think > that's bad).

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Translate the manual
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.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Inkscape-translator] Dead links
Thanks, Brynn! (forwarding to translators list). The idea about including "If you'd like to see your site listed here, please let us know in a new bug report at launchpad [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web]. Also please notify us when the URL changes or you spot a dead link, so we can keep the page current." is good - go ahead, if you like!

The valid licences for Inkscape files (i.e. those that potentially could be distributed with the program) are set to GPL, LGPL and AGPL. I'd also have added Public Domain and other free licences - but my question about that topic has probably been lost. I also find it frustrating to upload something, and to have to re-select the file when the licence doesn't match (I think it should at least give feedback on which ones are allowed when submission fails). Would you like to make a bug report for this? (I don't know if that's possible with django forms or if this needs some additional js. The greying out would need AJAX to update the form when you switch the category.)

Re: [Inkscape-docs] FLOSS manual
Just a few quick thoughts: Wouldn't it - if you want to build the real manual, not a newbie guide as could be done by translating the French intro - make sense to extend the existing FLOSS manual? It already gives a strong basis which we could build upon. As a first step, updating it in the most important places could be a goal. Refining could come later. For accessibility, compatibility, and sanity reasons my suggestion would be to go with the book creation software used at flossmanuals. -> It provides an interface that allows anyone to easily update the book. -> It has version (and release) control. -> It can export to different formats, which can come in handy if you need a web version, an ebook version or a pdf. -> Text editing in Inkscape for huge amounts of text is too slow, and it's also not made for this kind of task.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] user gallery (InkSpace)
Hi Brynn, you chose the name 'brynn's gallery' yourself when you created that subgallery ;) Would you like me to change the name for that subgallery? It's like a folder inside your main gallery (but the main gallery always shows every file, also those in the subgalleries). > Since it says > "None" underneath the title, does that mean there is going to be a way to > add a description? The 'None' is indeed the empty description, which probably shouldn't show when there isn't one (fix committed). Adding that description is currently not possible via the website (or rather, only possible if you have access to the admin interface). > In the future, will there be a way to change the title, such as > change "brynn's gallery" to "brynn's artwork" (or whatever)? Changing a gallery's name doesn't seem to be possible at the moment (at least not by just clicking around on the website). We could make feature requests for those above two issues (summarized as 'Editing a gallery needs to be implemented'). I think it once was possible, but got lost... > Also that thumbnail doesn't have the correct proportions. It's > distorted. For the distorted thumbnail, we'd need a separate bug report. > How does it decide which image to use for the thumbnail? > I think that's the first image I uploaded - It will go through all the images you uploaded into that gallery and pick the first one that is published, yes.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Hackfest page
Great, thank you, Sylvain! A few suggestions: - Maybe it's better to use plural in the heading and at the bottom, where it says 'can attend the hackfest'? Same goes for the text at the bottom that tells us about what the money will be used for when there's more than needed for the hackfest - needs to be adapted. - neither the number of days a hackfest lasts, its co-location with LGM or that it only happens once a year are fixed. There have been discussions going on about changing any of them, so we should leave those concrete data points out, and use something more general ('some days', and for the location, maybe leave that out entirely). Would you put those in, Sylvain? Brynn (and everyone else), anything else we'd need to make it nicer?

[Inkscape-docs] inkscape-docs / website: updated automatically?
@Martin: Are the docs on the website still updated automatically? I seem to remember that last time, changes that Nicolas made were applied to the live server rather quickly, but this time it's taking longer than expected (> 24 hours). For checking: This page https://inkscape.org/en/doc/devel/translations-statistics-trunk.html is supposed to contain dates newer than 2016-03-20. Would be good to have it updated (automatically?) so the translators have a good overview over where their work is needed. If updating them requires a manual intervention (either because the automatical update doesn't work, or because it never was automated), would you maybe take a look, please? (or who knows, maybe it's that overeager caching again?) Kind Regards, Maren -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic patterns at an interface-level.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Language Redirect
Thanks, Martin, for investigating the speed issues. While it's unfortunate that the consequences consist of removing functionality (the 'I favourited this item' frames are gone, too, I think because they ate too many resources), I agree that it's more important that we are able to edit and view the site within a reasonable amount of time. People will hopefully discover the language switcher easily (but I think many will just go with the English page now). I will create that bug report just to remind us that the functionality was lost, in case there's some server resource improvement or other thing that frees up resources so we can put that back in.

Before we continue to discuss if it is to be implemented, please research if those plugins must then also be added to all translations. It may be that missing plugins will automatically be substituted by their English counterparts (I think due to a bug in current django, this does not happen, but as soon as they fix the bug, there could be a problem - there was something about this in their bug tracker, I seem to remember). I could imagine splitting the FAQ into its major 7 sections, but having a single one for each question would make editing a bit annoying (also it's too much editing work to put that change in, as copy-paste for links or images between plugins might not work as expected). > 3.

Sylvain, what he means is that there are no current efforts going on for a revolutionary redesign of the page.

All other h2 and h3 headings (unless there aren't any? You could check that first, to see if this is necessary) must stay the same. So this means as a general rule you'd need to - check if there are other parts in the code that will be concerned by a change (hint: there are lots of them!

Nested plugins are saved as children of other plugins. When removed from their original place, and pasted into another one, I assume that they will be gone, because they are deleted from their original place. >> I could imagine splitting the FAQ into its major 7 sections, but having >> a single one for each question would make editing a bit annoying (also >> it's too much editing work to put that change in, as copy-paste for >> links or images between plugins might not work as expected). > > Yes, I was talking about a splitting for the major sections. - So I agree that's a lot of work. Only you can decide if it would be worth the gain for you. I can work with both situations, and I think Brynn can, too. It might make work a tiny bit faster, but not enough so that I would want to do the splitting myself. Maybe there's something else that would profit from our time investment more than this? We've got enough bug reports for inkscape-web to have work for a couple of months... You seem to like javascript stuff, so maybe the inbox problems or the TOC customization could profit from your work. Before you start working on any bug, please add a comment there, telling the others that you plan to work on it (so we don't work on the same bug at the same time), and also sketch roughly what you'd do to fix it. We can then give feedback, or add some more info to the report before you start working on it. Sometimes, things have changed since the bug was first reported, or we may know or plan something that you cannot know about. Kind Regards, Maren -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?

If everyone else agrees about the organization, > I'll just check the text, and leave the format alone. - Didn't look too closely at the organization, but I agree with you, Brynn - I think it could work like this: "Inkscape can natively import most raster formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.) as bitmap images, but it can only export PNG bitmaps. Inkscape does not intend to export other raster formats than PNG as this is currently the most suited format for vector graphics: it uses lossless compression and is supported by typically all graphics or rendering software. If you really need to get your vector in another raster format (e.g. because your document contains bitmaps and the PNG file size is large or if you want to use your vector on a platform which only accepts JPEG), you will have to convert the exported PNG with another software (such as the GIMP or ImageMagick) or an extension, for example, this one. Inkscape can save as SVG, SVGZ, PDF, Postscript/EPS/EPSi, LaTeX (*.tex), POVRay (*.pov), HPGL, and MANY others. Starting with version 0.91, Inkscape can save as: FXG (Flash XML Graphics), SIF (Synfig Animation Studio), HTML5 Canvas, and there are improvements for XAML export. Please see “Exporting Other File Types” section of the Exporting Files chapter of the manual, for more details. If you need another export format that Inkscape currently does not offer, you can make a suggestion to add it to Inkscape in the Inkscape bug tracker."

It seems to be a bit difficult, though, to find someone to draw such a graphic for us. Brynn had the idea to make this some sort of contest, or to just ask on social media for someone who could draw up such a thing.

But, as this has already been taking so long, I also wouldn't mind if this just became a nice, concise, easy article, with a few small example pictures. *Easy* is a key point, because the people who need this explanation usually don't know anything about vector graphics. It should also not be a long read (hence the info graphic idea), but something that you jump to, read, and return to what you've been previously doing (because we would like to point people to it, when they ask a question that shows that the difference isn't clear to them yet). We've got a list somewhere of the concepts that would need to be explained. I (or Brynn) can forward it to you if you would like to get started with any of this.

Jeremy, what do you think about helping with this? @Sylvain: The purpose of the page is not of encyclopedic nature. People could use Wikipedia for that or just google it. We are specifically looking for something that will help us in our day-to-day support-giving work. The requirements for that are: easy, quick read / quick view, nice-looking, engaging, fitting to the Inkscape project (maybe with Inkscape mascot, not comparing to other specific software, stress on things people will wonder about when using Inkscape for the first time), translatable.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Shield data left out
Hi Sylvain, the only editor yesterday was frigory, and all existing languages have been 'edited' and published, so I guess there was some kind of accident. Unfortunately, the history of the page doesn't go back until your first edit yesterday, so reverting might not work as expected. Unless Martin does a revert, I think it would be good if you could reinsert the things that have been lost (yeah, I know, it's a lot of work... :/ At least, that gives us a chance to also update Duarte's link...).

[Inkscape-docs] "The next release" page: Update required
Hi everyone, I only just noticed that Bryce had appended a new overview of the release process to his email to the dev mailing list about looking for volunteers, and that it looks quite different from the list we have on the website. Would anyone have the time to update the English page (https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/) and tell translators about the change?

[Inkscape-docs] Website: Bad Gateway and server errors, even on login
Hi Martin, could you have a look at the website? It's giving lots of server errors and Bad Gateway errors, upon trying to upload something (Bryce's pre4 source code), trying to view resources as well as when trying to login. It could be connected to the outages we experienced yesterday, which were related to power failure in some data center, but I suspect that it isn't (or that it would need fixing on the server, at least).

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Update "Video Tutorials" section in website
Vardenis, can you please reply to the list? Depending on your email program, there are different ways to accomplish that, e.g. 'reply to all' is available for me, but you may need to paste the list into the address line yourself. Embedding should be okay, though - but you can ask Nick and heathenx and whoever you would like to include if they agree first. Or even invite them to upload them themselves, so they're linked to their own user account at inkscape.org, and can serve as some kind of 'entry point' for publicity for them. It might be that they're not too happy, if we put all their videos on the website, because it could be they generate income via their youtube pages... Asking is always nicer, in any case.

It's not a beautiful page, and the gallery can do it just as well, only with search, tags, ordering by quality, pagination, commenting ...

Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Inkscape-translator] Website / Wiki: Release translations
Hi everyone (including docs list website editors), okay, so the release is out :) What's problematic currently because of all the people visiting the website is the website performance. I've found that editing doesn't work for me, and publishing trials end up in server nirvana. I'll wait with making any further changes until it's calmer, maybe at night, when website traffic is low (I've gotten a couple of new shield images from Jabier). Or, if that doesn't suffice, then maybe a couple of days later. Next time, we should probably ask for a couple of additional days, so we have some time to prepare the website properly before the visitors DDOS the site ;-) Kind Regards, Maren Am 04.01.2017 um 03:01 schrieb Maren Hachmann: > Dear website and Wiki translators, > > for the pending release of Inkscape 0.92, a couple of things have been > updated, some of which are publicly accessible already, and some will be > shortly. > > We will need your help spreading the news for you language community :) > > When the new version is released (see inkscape-announce mailing list), > it would be great if you could contact your language's software / design > / open source communities' news outlets with some info about Inkscape > 0.92.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] Update "Video Tutorials" section in website
Can't say that I can see why we'd take this route, when seemingly, we all agree that the page would be better off being replaced with a proper solution to the problem... We already had this situation once (where it was my fault), I don't like to see it repeated. Btw. anyone can add a link to an Inkscape tutorial video they like, and mark as 'Tutorial'. It needn't be the author (but it would be good to have them on board, of course). If someone needs help with how to do this, I'm available for explanations / step-by-steps.

It's a lot of work to view them all, and then to categorize them, but I'm sure this would benefit many people. Just now I have answered a user question with a link to youtube - it would be so much better to answer it with a link to our gallery :) I would like it a lot to see them tagged with difficulty levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced - just like Brynn does on her website for the text tutorials). As for tutorial series, it's maybe enough to add the first one in the row/difficulty level, and then tell people that there are tons of others, and roughly what topics they cover (at least, if the author of the series doesn't answer if they are okay with a curated set of their videos being embedded in the Inkscape website's gallery).

Also, we'd get more people to find them if they're hosted on a website like youtube. And most uploaders use those public services anyway. Uploading twice is a lot to ask, it takes a long time to upload a video, depending upon your internet connection.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] news editing
Yes, definitely. Copying directly from an email breaks it, if the email client has support for some kind of (html) formatting (happened with the other unpublished article, too, when Martin copied from his email client...). Anything that is copied into the website into a field that uses some kind of formatting with an extra editor (WYSIWYG), needs to be copied from a pure text handling instance, like notepad, kate, gedit, or even the search or address bar in the browser (that's usually the fastest way to remove formatting), unless you *want* monospace fonts, or a text that is difficult to edit ;-) Maren Am 17.02.2017 um 06:10 schrieb Martin Owens: > Hi Brynn, > > Not sure why that's going wrong for you. > > Pop the editor into HTML mode and check the code directly.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] website issue
Made a report, but I suspect Martin already knew about it. He's currently working on updating the website, after it has moved to gitlab. This entrailed a couple of other updates that had been put on hold, and I assume one of those caused the issue.

Would it make sense to use gitlab's new subgroups feature for this? The inkscape-docs team could be a sub-team of Inkscape, that way. There are only 4 members as of now, so changing wouldn't be so difficult as it might be later on.

Great :) I think, in this context, it makes sense to also link to the thread on the translators mailing list, where many of us have already been discussing the issue, and started to investigate options. https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/inkscape-translator/thread/CAPOH7%3DZn3sWhZ%3D1DDB-1FUp%2BQUZzrLmyy7iOFiL1VcfY0maG9g%40mail.gmail.com/#msg35807172 Victor (who initiated the thread) has already written about his findings about Sphinx there, and he also linked to a list on github, where different documentation systems are listed (sorry, your latest email is still on my todo list, Victor).

I've heard that Scribus performance drops dramatically with the number of pages. How would you go about translatating the book? I strongly disagree with CC0 - I would only contribute to something that where attribution and copyleft are honored. It's fine to pull content from properly licenced sources, imho, too. There are quick start guides with good licences - this would make the process a lot faster, if it wouldn't need to be written from scratch, but only modified.

The Inkscape website contents is dual licenced, too. And we do not have individual credits for each page, word, image, link or whatever. It would be very difficult to do that anyway. Do you think that poses a problem?

However, I wouldn't contribute text or proofreading or maintenance help under these circumstances. There are many things that I have published as CC0 (Public Domain is impossible in Germany, because there are certain moral rights, such as 'authorship' that one cannot give up, even if one wanted to). But a manual that is made for an open source, copyleft software should fit the philosophy, in my opinion. I care about attributing work to the people who did it, and I don't want that someone who comes along to grab what they did can just deprive them of it.

We can do both :) (and even combine them). I've been thinking we're exploring options. I'll make a suggestion shortly. I only wish Nicolas or Elisa could be here to give us some more in-depth info about their server's capabilities and their book's licencing.

The original book is in French and has French screenshots, with French menus and maybe example texts in French (don't know for sure), as far as I know. Some may not need any translation, because there may not be any words in them, but others will.

Hi Nicolas :D, thank you! What I would like to know (and what is now buried deep in the email stream) is: - How does version control work for booktype? Could it be combined with a git repository, or does it use a fully independent system? (I couldn't find a direct hint, maybe it's just using the django database to keep track of changes/edits?) - What is the source file format of booktype? Markdown?

Re: [Inkscape-docs] License for the new manual
(this is not a direct reply to the last email by Brynn, just generally to this new licence thread) @Brynn / CR: I think the term copyright does not mean the same as 'All rights reserved'. Copyright is just an umbrella term for all of them. Just look at the Inkscape files: (line 10) http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/0.92.x/view/head:/src/inkscape.cpp#L10 @Brynn/CR/Martin: Yes, the Intro book at flossmanuals is licenced GPLv3. But: I have asked if the licence could be changed/amended, to include CC-By-SA (you may have missed that in the stream). Only the author hasn't answered yet. Jazzynico said he would contact her. So we are waiting for her answer, before we can decide to pursue / not pursue that road. @everyone: FTR, I prefer CC-By-SA for a manual, too. If the Intro book cannot be licenced as CC-By-SA for some reason, then translating it would get a lower priority for me, and finding other resources for a start would rise in priority, but it's still worth being translated, because it is a good book, with a very nice tone and approach. If someone asked me to write an Inkscape manual and to release it into PD (which is impossible, being German... we cannot cast off the moral rights, even if we want to, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights#In_Europe), CC0 is possible, though) I wouldn't do it. I do use that license for small artwork, and I would use it for stuff where it cannot be enforced anyway, or which is of humanitary nature. But here, no lives depend on it, and I want to make sure that people's work is credited, and that all derivatives of the manual may be shared freely. Not just /most/, but *all*. @Brynn: (question from last email) Probably if the teaching material doesn't use the same licence. But it's still possible to use different licences for different parts, as long as you make a note of that, and don't mix them completely, as far as I know. So, I don't see an issue, rather a chance that more teaching materials might choose a good licence ;-) (I'd like to see more teachers and students use Inkscape, btw.)

Re: [Inkscape-docs] License for the new manual
With the 'good licence' I meant CC-By-SA, sorry for the confusion.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Inkscape-devel] Any chance we can make some docs material? (targeting the moon)
Thanks again, Nicolas! Booktype 2.x (and its predecessor) definitely looks nice, seems to be easy to use and to produce quality output. I'm compiling a list of the different options atm. with pros and cons.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] [Inkscape-devel] Any chance we can make some docs material? (targeting the moon)
Hi, sorry for the delay. I've been trying things out a bit, and I feel I haven't seen enough yet, but I won't have time tomorrow, so posting anyway now. So, it seems that what we still need for a manual (any kind) is a platform to create it (not only write, but also output to different formats). I have had a chance to look at 3 different platforms on my list, and I'm trying to outline the pros and cons, as I perceive them, please add yours to the list. There are many more platforms in existance (see also: https://github.com/PharkMillups/beautiful-docs#generating-docs), and if anyone here has some experience with them, please add. * - Gitlab Wiki + X, as suggested by Martin. WHAT: An online Wiki on gitlab with a source code editor, associated with a gitlab project. PROS: - custom-made to suit the project's individual needs (no specifics yet) - Preview functionality CONS: - only (limited set of) Markdown, RDoc or AsciiDoc - limited formatting options, formatting not so much about 'roles' of formatted text, but more about 'looks' - the backend isn't written yet - no option for branches via interface (so we could start writing for trunk, and continue fixing for stable) - no direct translation support - support for the backend depends upon a single individual, no user community - no WYSIWYG editor - no GUI access to git repo, for managing where to put uploaded files etc. - no GUI for undoing a change (like in a 'normal' Wiki), or looking at a diff EXAMPLE (frontend): https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/wikis/home * - Gitlab Editor + Sphinx / readthedocs: WHAT: A git repository with an online source code editor and documentation update on readthedocs.org on save (i.e. commit). PROS: - available quickly (didn't know how it works exactly, but got it all up and running with test content within an evening) - uses git and reStructured Text - allows to have branches, so devel version features can be documented when they are coded - supports translations (not entirely sure how, though, haven't tested it yet, wanted to send this email instead. E.g. Django docs are translated. Fallback to English if no translation of a document. I think they use different branches.) - free theming, separately for each output format - free hosting, can also use our own domain name with readthedocs.org, e.g. docs.inkscape.org - after installing some programs, tool chain runs locally - preview via gitlab editor or local editor - same toolchain can be used for developer documentation (includes code documentation from docstrings) - extensible via plugins (haven't had a chance to take a closer look yet or test any) - I think it's possible to add a 'edit this page on gitlab' link to each page, to get new contributors, even when using readthedocs.org (not tested, but read that others did similar things) - extremely wide range of export formats via plugins - infinite hierarchy nesting - syntax highlighting (e.g. for command line usage instructions, or extension writers) - video embedding (not tested) CONS: - learning curve for admin (theming, plugins,...) - learning curve for editors (syntax, workflow) - no WYSIWYG editor, only preview (incomplete, because doesn't support all sphinx stuff) EXAMPLE: - repository: https://gitlab.com/Moini/inkscape-extensions-multi-bool/tree/master/docs - rendered documentation: http://inkscape-multi-bool-extension.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html * - Booktype: WHAT: A web portal for creating books, hosted by friends of the Inkscape project. PROS: - available right now, no further setup required - best interface by far, easy and intuitive to use - team functions, user roles, chat - prevents concurrent editing - wide range of export and import formats - support for themes/settings for specific export formats (e.g. different font sizes etc.) - free hosting and maintenance via flossmanuals(fr) - community of experienced documentors CONS: - confinement to django database for version control, more difficult to get data out of it again for editing - no direct translation support (make a copy of the book, copy changes over after doing a comparison in the history) - limited versioning support (only the latest one can be edited) - we'd need to ask someone to add CC-By-SA licence (currently, the options I got were CC-By, GPL. I guess this would be quick and easy to solve.) EXAMPLE (rendered documentation): https://www.flossmanualsfr.net/initiation-inkscape/ * All of them would be FLOSS, have support for internal linking, allow to insert images and allow editing via browser. * I wish it were possible to combine the ease of use of the booktype frontend with the portability, branch support, sustainability and versatility of the gitlab/sphinx/readthedocs backend...
