Future manual outline

Présentation d'inkscape Introduction to Inkscape

La boîte à outils Toolbox | how far, should we include here all tool options? for example "How to use bézier tool"

Les dialogues Windows and Dialogs

le menu Chemin Path Menu

le menu Effets et les filtres Effects and Filters Menu

les raccourcis claviers Keyboard Map | do we need to put other input information together with keyboard stuff (pen tablet and even mouse related)?


I would add some step by step tutorials like the "beginning with inkscape" but on other subjects. This has been done by gimp docs team very successfully.
