Hi Campbell, <br>
<br>
You got me, this is playing around, sure this has no priorty, but we
get into some type of discusion<br>
There so much hunger in the world. How can you go fishing and
letting the fish go afterwards.<br>
Because fishing is FUN (I've haven't done yet, I don't know). <br>
And yes I'm working on the manual. BlenderWUI is just a do something
else sometime project - scripting (-programming).<br>
<br>
We also have avoid get stucked into:<br>
the low barrier vs. avoid drive by edits discussion.<br>
It's always going to be compromise and in my opinion not the reason
why there are few contributers.<br>
3D-Graphics is complicated and the average Blender user is a hobbist
and mostly the artist typ.<br>
<br>
People rather publish on there own blog than write an manual
article.<br>
What's the difference between a blog and the Blender manual:<br>
<ul>
<li>name tagged on</li>
<li>jester's licence: what, true/false<br>
</li>
<li>art content, how to, tutorials</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm not a friend of seeing competition everywhere. But we can't
ignore it.<br>
<br>
Every edit is a <span data-dz-attr="singlelink">anonymous </span>donation
to Blender. <br>
Section ownership is step in the direction to common donation
handling: <br>
on Github: contributers, MDN does a tag cloud with article
authors. <br>
</p>
<p>Maybe we can find guest authors: scholarpedia style<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://scholarpedia.org/article/Color_vision">http://scholarpedia.org/article/Color_vision</a><br>
by asking people to merge there blog entry into the blender manual<br>
</p>
Sphinx is just one of 400 Open Source static side generators. <br>
And for Blender -against my personal preference- it's not a bad
choice.<br>
<br>
So dont let us get overwhelmed by the pile of problems. :)<br>

<pre wrap="">Tobias,
I worry that the manual is being treated as some kind of technology
playground here.
We can of course write our own clever extensions, tweak themes ... and
encode screenshots in some interactive data.
Such changes may be fine - but at this moment we struggle to even get
people to contribute basic changes,
and until that changes am strongly against complicating the build
process or investing a lot of time in non-essential improvements.
(Unless they are really helping us get the basics working).
