I agree with Brynn. We should first focus in create the official/original doc of Inkscape on Gitlab and then try to do this hard copy book to sell in the inkscape store. I just wanted to gather the opinions of you guys if more or less following the index of a 3rd party material is a good idea or

Hi all, oh, wow, I've just been offline for a couple of hours - wouldn't have expected that, if finally someone gives the 'go' for a manual, there would be such a huge echo (we've been discussing this on and off for a /very/ long time already). That's just cool :D Just some comments to various

I don't mean to slow anyone's roll here. But wouldn't it make more sense to put any kind of energy towards documentation into the much discussed, direly needed, user-focused, step by step manual? Rather than starting from scratch on a whole different kind of project? There are many books
