[Bf-docboard] Syncing development & documentation

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Most of you might have noticed the activities around  
redesigning/organizing the menus and buttons in Blender. Might be even  
in conjunction with an improved toolbox functionality, showing  
contextual options.

Changing big things in interfaces we shouldn't do often. For the 2.xx  
releases, I hope we can stick to doing it only once. Also because of  
the efforts to create a new 2.3 (printed) manual, I really aim for the  
current discussions to get quickly to something really good we can live  
with for a long time, and which doesn't make it completely incompatible  
or 'not Blender', but still new & improved!

Of course all of you are kindly invited to participate in discussions  
(bf-funboard list or forums at blender.org). But mostly, I'm afraid  
interface changes will invoke quite a lot of work for you dudes...  
which I really regret! <sob!>

What are your general ideas, as documentationers, how to make this as  
painless as possible?

-Ton-
