Hi all !<br>
<br>
I currently make a complete review of the Video Sequence Editor
docs, and <span lang="en"><span>I need</span> <span>your</span> <span>opinion</span></span>s about the new structure, and
content. You can check my work in the sandbox, here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Sanbox/Doc:2.6/Manual/Sequencer" target="_blank">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Sanbox/Doc:2.6/Manual/Sequencer</a><br>
<br>
This is an "index" page I made to list all the work done, allowing
you to see the new structure of this chapter. Warning: the links <span lang="en"><span>contained
are all "broken" because they link to the final destination of
the pages (i.e. not in sandbox)</span></span>. By the way,
they'll work when the pages are at their final addresses ;)<br>
<br>
I hope you'll enjoy it, feel free to ask anything and <span lang="en"><span>criticize.</span></span><span><font color="#888888"><br>
