[FM Discuss] introducing myself

[Maren Hachmann]

Hi Rosalind,

thanks for your introduction, we're happy to have you!

As discussion about the manual happens at gitlab, mostly
(https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/issues) and - for big
announcements - on the inkscape-docs mailing list, please just pop over
there and say hello! (most of the others are probably not registered here).

Also read up on the book's details here:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals#inkscape-beginners-guide

By contributing, you agree to make your contributions according to the
book's licence, which is CC-By-SA 4.0.

As for the installation chapter, that's a good idea!
New ideas are usually - at least shortly - discussed in the team, but an
installation chapter was on the list anyway, so it's great that you
started on it.

Here's some more info for installation on OS X:
https://inkscape.org/en/release/0.92.2/mac-os-x/107/dmg/
Your description is already fleshing out step one, which is described
rather sparsely in the instructions. Great start!

Can you fill in the other steps for MacOS, too? (please don't just
copy-paste, the licences of website and book are incompatible). We don't
have any other OS X user contributing to the manual, as far as I can
remember, so that would be really helpful.

I hope you'll enjoy working on the book with us!

See you on gitlab,
Kind Regards,
 Maren
