Re: [Mixxx-devel] Mixxx release schedule / We need help!

[Daniel Schürmann]

I am afraid 2018-01-31 is to short for a polished English Doku and then
wait for translations. So we need to find a mode to do things in parallel.
How can we allow to polish the English until 2018-03-31 without loosing 
translations in other languages?
I think for non English speaking users unpolished translated doku is 
better than untranslated polished English chapters.


Maybe we can add a English translation for the English doku and use it 
for polishing?
Or we freeze the English doku master branch at an early point for 
translations and do English polishing in a branch.

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

[Daniel Schürmann]

Hi Radu,

Thank you :-)
I think the looping feature deserves an own new chapter.

It would also a great help to verify the current manual with the current 
Mixxx version and it's changes and file GitHub issues for all missing 
features.

Re: [Mixxx-devel] Mixxx release schedule / We need help!

[Be]

To focus efforts on getting things together for the feature freeze at 
the beta release, I'll temporarily hold off on reviewing controller 
mappings until the beta release is out. You're welcome to submit them 
now but they won't be reviewed for a weeks. Mappings may be submitted 
for inclusion in the next release during the beta testing period, so you 
don't need to rush to get them done within the next few weeks. A list of 
notable changes for controller mappings is on the wiki:

https://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/updating_controller_mappings
Feel free to ask for help on the controller mapping forum.
