Hi folks,

just want to pass on a big thank you for the manual. I'm currently in New Zealand attending the Kiwi Pycon, a python conference. I got fantastic feedback for the manual, which I want to pass on to all who contributed.

Cheers!

Much of the merit is for you (IMHO)....

About acknowledgements ... I would like to post a desiderata. The national versions of the manual are currently missing an aknowledgement paragraph about the current language team. I mean that when someone find something wrong or missing in the language version of the manual he/her have to browse through many authors/proof readers in search of the proper people to contact, with many trial & errors with authors that are not currently active on the manual or looking for a missing tranlators mailing list. I think this is confusing.

I suggest to create a new tag like this:

* Content Writers * Proof Reading
* Graphics, Stylesheets
* Build System, Technical Contributions

added

* Current language team & support (or any appropriate section title) Team leader (if any), translator email, translator email, language team mailing list (if any).

What do you think about it?

Just wondering: do you refer to the authors.xml or the manual itself?

If it's the authors.xml - I remember we used the stylesheet from GIMP and I guess - without having made any research - that the stylesheet which is processing the authors.xml doesn't rely on any standard. If that's the case, I guess we can put any information we want to provide in this file.

Another idea I had: what about the homepage (docs.gimp.org) itself?

Cheers,

The authors.xml file in GIMP uses Dublin Core (see http://dublincore.org/). Of course you can diverge from this, if there's a need. But it might be a good idea to check if the Dublin Core Metadata standard provides what you are looking for.

Thanks for pointing that out. We should certainly have a look into that.
