I have just finished the first draft but I have to re-read it in case there are typos or other errors. I think I got your idea right but I haven't completely moved one chapter into the new one: I have moved most of the chapter "Contributing to this document" to "Contributing to the project" leaving a link from the former to the latter. While "Contributing to the project" gives a general view of the process and uses live-manual as an example I have left live-manual specific procedures in about_manual (I think that doing otherwise would be confusing for new contributors). In short: live-manual specific procedures --> "Contributing to this document" live-manual example/general procedures --> "Contributing to the project" In "Contributing to the project" I have basically included the information that you posted on this mailing list only making minimal changes where necessary. And in "Contributing to this document" I have also added a bit more info on the translation process (which may still need some more improving). Unless told otherwise, I'll probably push this afternoon after revising the texts again. I hope that the change is for the better :) Have a nice Halloween weekend! ps. I have made a backup of all about_manual.po files because the already existing translations will be "lost" after updating the files from the master language. Most strings will remain exactly the same so just a copy and paste will greatly save translation work. -- chals www.chalsattack.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
