Starting help for gimp-2.8

Hi,

According to the GIMP developers wiki http://gimp-wiki.who.ee/index.php/GIMP_Roadmap, only layer groups and single-window mode will change until gimp-2.8 release (and probably only for bug fixes). We can reasonably consider that gimp-2.8 will be released within a few monthes.

More than 6 monthes were necessary to update gimp-help-2 to 2.6.

So, I think we should start writing gimp-2.8 help now.

For that, we need: - a separated git module for gimp-help-2.8, containing a copy of the present gimp-help-2 at first.
- a gimp-doc-wiki(like the old we had) with the list of features that must be updated, and the possibility of knowing who works on what.

Unfortunately, I have not the knowledge to build a git module or a gimp wiki :-(.

Greetings,

Julien

Perhaps for this, the developers wouldn't mind if the documentation team could use the wiki as well?

I could perhaps ask on the developer mailing list for this opportunity...

The wiki is not the most important as long as contributors are few. But what about a separated module for gimp-help-pre-2.8?

Michael sent a re-written quickie.xml file. This tutorial is much better than the present one, but it refers to the Export command, which is a gimp-2.7 feature.
I can't push it to the gimp-help-2 repository. Michael is a valuable recruit for gimp-help. I'm afraid he will turn discouraged if its work is not validated.

Cheers,

Julien

I can rewrite that section for 2.6 - it's not much of a change - and keep this version for when, gnu willing, the new version comes out.
