[Bf-docboard] Who's in charge? What's going on?

[Stefano Selleri]

Hi!

It is quite sad. Blender is a complex piece of software and documenting it
is a matching complexity task.

The DocBoard recognized as necessary a 'core' guide, which is
the one in production, which is to repalce the 2.0 guide
and is Blender's *manual*

Then there is the need for tutorials, introducing specific aspects
of Blender

Possibly more items, as a Programmer's guide or so.

The 'core' guide is frozen simply because the material going into the
2.3 book is OC license and must go back to the site, once ready, but
developing
in parallel would lead to merging problems and, as you might have noticed we
are not many here :)

Furthermore I called for tutorial people nearly 1 month ago, and noone
answered...
We are in need of:
1 - Taking old MNaN Tuts and updating to new Blender
2 - Writing/accepting as donations other tuts
    covering areas not covered by old NaN tuts
3 - Writing tuts on brand new features.

So if you are willing to collaborate actively as it seems, let's talk of
tuts :)
