I have a big PR in progress for reorganizing the early chapters of the
manual:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual/pull/60
Feedback on that would be helpful.
I think we should set a deadline for the manual between the beta and
final release to allow more time to get the English version together
while leaving enough time for translators. How about January 31 2018?

Hi.
Yesterday I had a look at the manual after quite a while and found it
very hard to read on screen.
These issues jump out immediately:
- serif font is fine for printing, but sucks on screens
- lines are way too long, respectivly:
- format is to wide to have it next to or on top of mixxx window (on the
same screen)
- some page-breaks unnecessarily cut short chapters
I'd like to help improving the manual, though I'm not very patient nor
super-skilled in DTP.
I'll have a look at how all the formatting is done, also I'll ask a
fellow graphic designer for feedback.
Maybe someone else already noticed this and has suggestions in the pipeline?
Find my further suggestions at https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual/issues
Cheers

Hi Mixxx developers,
I am glad to announce a release schedule for Mixxx. We have
decided to switch to a deadline based, 6 month release cycle.
Releases:
2018-03-31 Mixxx 2.1
2018-09-30 Mixxx 2.2
and so on.
To reach the Mixxx 2.1 date, we have decided to release a 2.1 beta
and 2.2 alpha at
-> 2017-12-22 <-
This means we have 5 weeks left to finish started PRs left to
accept feature / skin and string pull requests for 2.1.
Later feature PRs are still welcome, but go to 2.2 alpha.
For the release 2.1 we need to do
* A lot of testing
* bug-fixing
* Mapping updates
* Translation
* Manual
* Release PR
To make Mixxx 2.1 a great success, we need help especially on the
non software related tasks like testing, improving manual and
translations. So please ask your DJ colleges, if they have some
fun and spare time to adopt a task and push Mixxx forward. Thank you!
Kind regards,
Daniel
