			# Introduce yourself on chat and tell us what you want to do so we can avoid duplicating work

			Here is a hint: we try to use as much content from release notes as possible, since last 5-6 ones were written in a very much verbose way.

			<!-- '''Outdated!''' Here is how you translate:

			# In your translation zone you will see contents of the book. For each chapter there are "Edit" and "Translate" links and a status combobox that reveals various options. Start with those chapters which are marked as "Untranslated".
			# Click "Translate"
			# In the newly opened copy'n'paste contents of the most recent revision of chapter fromthe left editing field to the right one. A sequence of Ctrl+C and Ctrl+C should do the trick
			# Translate
			# Choose a new status of the newly created translation. '''Untranslated''' — if you just copy'n'pasted original text in English. '''Unpublished''' — if you translated the text, but want to review and improve it before it goes live. '''Published''' — if your translation is '''really''' ready to go live and visible for everybody else.
			# Click 'Save'

			You can still do further revision of that chapter anytime by clicking 'Edit' from the Contents table.

			Reading [http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Inkscape/WritingConventions writing conventions] is strictly recommended for better understanding of markup rules and use of styles.
