Hi Ulrich, I finished to the end of Chapter 1 this weekend.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7q86cmgvvmm5oxr/darktable-usermanual-130219-ch1.pdf What do you use for annotating pdf files? I was greatly dissatisfied with okular, and couldn't find anything better on Linux, so I ended up using Adobe software on my iOS device. On Linux, the annotations display best using acroread. By and large, it's been fairly reasonable. I think the bulk of the annotations are relating to use of "you" and "your", which doesn't feel right for a manual. That, and inserting commas. :) I more-or-less followed the proofreading marks, here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4v7fLJoD-gM/TTM3gkU3H2I/AAAAAAAABIU/UjJ-y1gkb2Y/s1600/proofreading.jpg Some of my 'insert comma' marks were above the line, so look like 'insert apostrophe', but it should be pretty obvious I meant comma. Any questions, just ask. Rob -- I think it would be good to have a second set of eyes look over my annotations. Some of what I'm suggesting could just be my personal style (which is North American-centric), as opposed to fixing something egregiously wrong.
