Hi Brynn,
indeed, you got the wrong book, Brynn. Just wait a day or two (or
however long it'll take to contact Mick and get a couple of things
sorted out), then you'll see. We're definitely going to need someone who
renames the images that will be in that book.
You don't need to work on it yet.

@jazznico: Is there a way to transfer books between the French

Ok everyone,
So since we are elaborating a LOT on this matter let's hope we can define a
couple of things for us to be able to take action as soon as this is
decided.

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).
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.

We can do both :) (and even combine them). I've been thinking we're

I'm confused -- I missed a step somewhere.
Are we no longer talking about translating the French manual on FLOSS Manuals?
Or are you talking about something else entirely?
Sorry to be so simple-minded.

Hi Miguel,
I think this is a GREAT advantage for the entire Inkscape project. It makes
all the sense of the world to help users do all the needed workarounds and,
if they want, help send funds to the project ($$) and/or a bug request 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.

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.
