Hello everyone!
I am ready to get back to this topic and have some work already done now.

First, let me remind our plan:
==============================================================
1. I will install AprovedRevs extension to the wiki
(http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Approved_Revs).
The idea is to have "two-layered" wiki.

First layer considered "stable" - it is a publicly visible by default
and it's a static snapshot of documentation at some point.
Second layer is "documentation in development". It is not visible by
default, but people can continue contribute to documentation "on
background", until another "snapshot" is done and the changes go to
stable.

This approach will allow us to edit the wiki at any time, with no
hurry, without breaking current state of things - people will still
see "old" version. As soon as new version of Synfig (with new
terminology) will be released, we just "approve" development version
of documentation to stable.

2. I'm going to rewrite a few documentation pages to see how new
terminology fits the whole picture. At this stage if something will
not fit - then make correction to the "dictator decision" until
everything will be fine.

3. Do changes to the code (in separate branch, I think)

4. Develop new icons.

5. Make an effort to proofread all documentation pages with new terminology.

==============================================================


The step 1 is done now. We have ApprovedRevs extension installed. Wiki
sysops can approve
revisions using "history" tab of each page.  Also, there is a
ApprovedRevs page available:
http://wiki.synfig.org/wiki/Special:ApprovedRevs.

I'm taking the responsibility to watch on the changed pages and
approve them. There is no need to approve pages everyday - I will do
that depending on the amount of changes and of course on each release.

Now I'm ready to proceed with step 2 - rewrite a few documentation
pages to see how new
terminology fits the whole picture.

Looks like Jcome is almost done with step 3 - that's good, makes my work easier.

Step 4 is in progress too. I need to build Jcome's branch to give a feedback.

I hope soon we will be ready to proceed to final step - 5!

Cheers!
K.
