User manual information

We need to work now on an update of this Manual and have a specific version for Inkscape.

Work in progress

User Manual Work in Progress reflects current work on the guide.

We track ongoing work for various languages here:

  svn co https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/user_manual/trunk user_manual

If you just want to browse to find a subject, go to http://www.le-radar.com/?mm/inkscape_inkscape.rss and choose your language. It is the most up-to-date version
Also, see inkscapeUTFen.pdf and inkscapeUTFfr.pdf for the manual processed with dblatex
An alternative, in-progress, unofficial version can be found at http://www.usinginkscape.com/usermanual

Subscribe to the inkscape-docs mailing list and tell us what you are planning to do so that no work is duplicated
Adding new information to the manual: write your files in docbook or in plain text that we'll convert (please follow the User Manual Guidelines)
translating pages
contact a contributor or add your name in the list below and have a look at the User Manual Work in Progress

To view the current state in HTML, type "make fr" or "make en" (xsltproc is needed). See the Makefile for other targets.
For pictures, you may use the "images/sshot_yourlanguage" directory or create it if necessary".
Don't translate anything yet, we are working on the French Version, which will then be translated into English, and that will become the basis for translation work. You will get a PO file for translating later.
