Re: [Gimp-docs] Open Help Conference

Would any GIMP docs people be able to make it? Cheers for the invitation. I would like to go, but need the few holidays I can get. I'm currently in Australia and won't be able to make it.

Perhaps for this, the developers wouldn't mind if the documentation team could use the wiki as well? I could perhaps ask on the developer mailing list for this opportunity...

Re: [Gimp-docs] a new user perspective
Hi Ulf, On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 08:51:03PM +0100, Ulf-D. Ehlert wrote: (1) Compact layout. This is mostly a matter of the chosen style(sheet): We (you?) could create an alternate stylesheet , e.g. compact.css (starting with a copy of gimp-help-screen.css) and change text layout etc. according to your suggestions. (And we can make it the default stylesheet at any time.) BTW, the HTML pages read gimp-help-custom.css if this stylesheet exists (by default it does not), so that's a good place to apply and test your changes in the real world. Just keep in mind with those changes, that the GIMP Help browser uses almost the same stylesheets. Perhaps it is not the desirable goal to have a compact layout for the user who downloaded the manual or uses the help browser to browse the manual.

Because the HTML is transformed by using the XSL stylesheets, we probably have to have a look at DocBook to set a parameter/option which finally results in an HTML file with this information. I haven't had a look at DocBook so far, but I bet the change is easy.

It seems that building a Russian PDF is broken (I think it's a dblatex problem and has nothing to do with gettext). But making a German PDF worked fine. Yes indeed as Marco already pointed out too. Awesome!!! So maybe you should just try to build PDFs for some languages and see what happens...

[Gimp-docs] Most annoying thing
Hi, I've just browsed a bit in the archives and remembered, that I was asking what the most annoying thing while editing the manual was for every author: https://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-docs/2008-February/001091.html Almost everyone thought the languages mixed up in one XML were very annoying. This has now changed with a big effort (thanks for Ulf for his time investing in supporting programs). Now two years later: What is now the most annoying thing? The most annoying thing for me is, that I can't spend as much time on the project as I would like to spend. I haven't made any contributions to the manual for a while, also due to the fact that I'm just lost in the current editing process. The wiki is down and doesn't seem to return anymore. Maybe a better space to invite potential contributors would be to open a space on the GNOME wiki. I'm also watching the development of Mallard closely: http://projectmallard.org/ maybe something which we could benefit from. Anyways. I'm still following the mailing list and try to help as much as I can! Thanks for the good work!
