	==About your project: Update INKSCAPE – Guide to a Vector Drawing Program==<!-- We have submitted the second suggested project to Google, see below. This paragraph is only here for historical reasons. -->

	~~===Your project's problem===~~
	Inkscape is a very large and complex program. Many books, on-line tutorials, and videos are available to help people to learn to use Inkscape. What is missing, though, is an up-to-date, complete manual that covers all parts of Inkscape. The most complete on-line manual, [http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/index.html Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program] (freely available on the web and linked to from Inkscape itself), is woefully out-of-date. The last complete update of this manual was done in 2011, with a partial update in 2017. Despite that, Inkscape users still find it quite useful (as documented by the number of times users are directed to it on social media).

	~~=== Your project's scope ===~~
	~~This project will bring the on-line manual up-to-date:~~
	*Update the tutorials.
	*Update chapters on each part of Inkscape's interface.
	*Create new chapters for new tools (The Shape Builder and Pages).
	*Create new sections for new dialogs.
	*Move the on-line website from the Author's personal site to Inkscape's official site. (Apart from looking more official, this would enable use of https, making indexing by Google easier, as well as provide more reliable hosting).

	~~Out-of-scope work:~~
	*Update or include tutorials reserved under contract to the publisher of the printed book.
	~~As a side benefit, revising the manual will probably uncover regressions and bugs with newer Inkscape versions, which we can then track and fix.~~

	~~The author of the original manual is available to write the update with review by volunteers.~~

	~~===Measuring your project's success===~~
	The number of times that users access the on-line book would be an indication of the success of the project, however, Inkscape's long term commitment to user's privacy makes this difficult. A simpler measure of the success of the project would be the number of sections updated.

	~~===Timeline===~~
	Updating the full manual is a year-long part-time project, however, Inkscape would still benefit greatly if a significant fraction of the manual was updated. The target for this program would be to update half the book, focusing on the most pressing parts.

			==About your project: Update Inkscape's Beginners' guide==
			Inkscape has an official user manual hosted at [https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ReadTheDocs], which covers basic usage of Inkscape, with guides on drawing tools, colors, text, etc. However the manual is currently targeting Inkscape 1.1, while the latest version is 1.3.2. In between, there are a number of undocumented changes, such as the new Live Path Effects dialog, on-canvas pattern editing, spiro and BSpline path support, multiple pages support, shape builder and more. Other parts of the manual (shortcuts, icons, etc.) also need updating to reflect the current user interface. These missing functionalities and outdated instructions confuse newcomers, which the manual primarily targets. Additionally, the manual lacks consistency in the colors and resolutions used in figures and the comprehensiveness of tool descriptions. The manual also lacks a contribution guide, including how to contribute translations, which makes it difficult for new contributors to help with user-facing documentation.

			===Your project's scope===
			The Inkscape Beginner’s Guide update project will:

			*Review the current guide and mark all places that needs an update within a Gitlab issue (with sub-issues if needed).
			*Add pages and paragraphs for new tools in appropriate locations, such as the Pages tool and the Measure tool under 'Useful Techniques', the filter editor dialog in the 'Filters' page, the new color wheel in the 'Fill and Stroke' page, etc.
			*Update parts of the guide according to the aforementioned issue.
			*Create a 'style guide' in the README documenting the tone of voice of the guide, colors and proportions used for figures. Include information about the translation process in the contributors guide, and document language-specific details (such as the use of “you” and “we” in English).
			*Re-capture screenshots of the current interface and redraw figures according to the style guide.
			*Edit the guide to make wording and grammar consistent.
			*Work with the inkscape-docs team to update the documentation on the ReadTheDocs site.

			Work that is out-of-scope for this project:

			*This project will not create tutorial pages that incorporates multiple tools. (This comes after the project ends)

			===Measuring your project's success===
			The Inkscape forum and chatroom currently recieves a number of questions per day, some of which are related to new features, therefore we aren’t able to refer them to the manual. The improved documentation would give people a definitive source to point to when answering questions, and we hope it helps people understand the tools further in addition to solving the problem. We also think that the contribution guide would help aspiring manual writers and translators make their first contribution, which hopefully makes them stick around and contribute further.

			We will track the number of total visitors monthly, and the amount of merge requests and issues opened quarterly after the manual is updated.

			We will consider the project successful if, after publication of the new manual:

			*The number of individual visitors (indicated by ReadTheDocs) increases by 15%
			*Translations for at least one additional language is being worked on
			*The number of contributors who have made >3 contributions increases by 10% (beginning the quarter after the documentation is published)

			===Timeline===
			The project will take approximately 6 months to complete. We’ll spend a month creating the style guide and documenting required changes and additions, 4 months editing and creating pages, and 1 months revising all aspects of the manual adhering to the style guide.
