tho :)

regarding that user manual:

I'M STARTING :)

any ideas on wich chapters are in DESPERATE need of updating?

for starters I'm very willing to do the "dupliverts" chapter. shouldn't =
be too hard, and it;s a nice easy start. any objections?

  Hi folks,

  not much traffic on the ml lately, I assume it's because everyone is =
working ;)

  Regarding last Nathan-Felix messages, I was keeping this list of =
things
  to do in the drawer, waiting for things to settle a little,
  but I think it's better to release it to the DOC board for comments


  Foundation Wide doc (Equivalent to Books):
   USER
     1 - User's Manual (current Blender Guide, to be updated) - High =
priority
     2 - User's Reference (the Reference chapter in the Guide, I think
           it might be good to separate it, for keeping small downloads) =
- High Priority

  << THIS TWO ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY MERGED TOGETHER IN B@RTS
  STRUCTURE PROPOSAL, LET'S KEP THEM UNITED FOR NOW>>

     3 - Artist's Guide (Well renowed Blender artists describe how they
          created some of their best images - An advanced user guide) - =
Low Priority

  <<This is both a high level set of tuts AND a Blender portfoloio for
  promotional purpouses, but i think that we need the previous two =
first>>

   CODER
    1 - Python API for script freaks - High Priority (lots of people are =
asking)
    2 - Plugin API for code freaks - Medium Priority (some people will =
soon
          realize their programming skill/time is not enought for Coding =
Blender=20
          but might be good enought to code a Plugin)
    3 - Code Reference for code gurus - Priority ? (real code gurus =
don't
         read/write doc.)

  Tutorials (Equivalent to Articles):
      1 - All old site tutorial translated - Medium priority, after all =
many are outdated
      2 - Tutorials worldwide invited (by commitee) for translation
            in the foundation format - Medium-High priority, many of =
these are
           up-to-date


  Comments?
