Hi Zac, Could the documentation be better. Yes! Do we need help, user testing the documentation and making sure it's up-to-date? Yes! We're looking forward to seeing the thoughts on how to improve -- and better yet -- improved tutorials.
That said, there won't be a one-time push for translation. There will be period pushes for translation -- at the major update points. It's silly to shut-off parts of our potential community by not letting them participate in their own language. Not releasing until everything is perfect is certainly an impulse I struggle with. But given that this is an open-source, alpha experimental prototype, we should be pushing things out more frequently than one would in a closed-source world. -- aza | ɐzɐ -- On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:38 AM, indolering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The documentation does a very poor job at what it is supposed to do. > I will be blogging about this in the near future. > > The gist is that the format it is presented in is the opposite to how > users approached the material, they miss key things at the beginning > and be lost the rest of the time. > > The most dangerous part is since the _format_ itself is so inhumane it > requires a total rewrite.
