Help docs online

Hi everyone,

I haven't seen this link sent to the lists yet, so I figured people would be interested.

The in-progress GIMP 2 docs are built from sources and available online (thanks to Roman Joost, the docs maintainer) here: http://www.kuhcampus.de/~roman/gimp-help-2/C/

Suggestions for improvements to the docs, or additional docs for undocumented sections, can be posted in the wiki at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs

There are some particularly interesting pages there - Work in progress: http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocsWip How to help out: http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/TipsForContributing

Cheers, Dave.

I think we should somehow get this setup at http://manual.gimp.org/. When GIMP-2.0 is out, the GIMP User Manual written by Karin and Olof will be pretty much outdated and should IMHO be replaced by the help written for GIMP-2.0. What do you think?

Sounds like a good idea. What would be involved to do that? Would it be a case of having the docs auto-built on a gimp.org machine or making the URL point to Roman's machine?

Cheers,
Dave.

I agree. The current on-line manual should be replaced by the files from gimp-help-2.

Perhaps an automatic build process (much like what is done for the gimp-web-devel module) can be set up on manual.gimp.org?

Sincerely, Brix

I disagree. The appearance of GIMP 2 does not all of a sudden make GIMP 1.2 obsolete. There is no technological reason why both manuals cannot be hosted on the same site.

How abut having the manual of the latest stable version as the default (gimp 2), and having a link to the old manual (gimp 1.0) on the front page?

Cheers, Dave.

That's perfect.

Of course we don't want to eliminate the old manual completely. I thought I would not have to mention that explicitely.
