Hi Brynn, yes, a short news item would be nice to show that work has started on a Beginners' Guide (it's not a real manual, in the classical sense). I think we especially need: - a few (not so many!) testers who only begin using Inkscape, to tell us if they understand it. They can accompany us, b

Thank you Marten, I have been in touch with Brynn and I have offered to help if I can. But I too was wondering who is the Project Manager, handling the task analysis and the work assignments. I really don't think you can have a project of this level, with multiple people involved, and not ha

Can someone help Maren? I feel like a news article and a deviantArt post would be useful for drumming up volunteers. But also, for a project director when just getting started, it's useful to hand out jobs, so people know that they are needed and that they don't have to think too much about which

Oh, well thanks for your kind words :-) It could be both an announcement and a call for more help. At least the translation part, I wonder if we could use more help? As I and I think others have said, this would be a great gateway project for bringing in new talent and having more active use

Hi Friends, As I'm writing up a quick draft to announce the upcoming hackfest, I suddenly wondered if it might be a good idea to write a short item about the recent new work on the new manual? I could do that, after I finish the hackfest article. I'm thinking Maren might be abl
