Seems like there is another manual to coordinate between languages. <div><br></div><div>We have been planning to do a Finnish GIMP manual based on this old Creative Commons manual for a very long time, and now it can be done during the next two months or so:
<a href="http://fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita/gimp/_draft/_v/1.0/asennus/">http://fi.flossmanuals.net/kirjoita/gimp/_draft/_v/1.0/asennus/</a> </div><div><br></div><div>The writer of the manual is saying that he will not develop it further, but any wiki can take it and continue developing it. </div>
<div><br><div>I noticed that the GIMP manual in English has had some activity in the meanwhile: </div><div><a href="http://booki.flossmanuals.net/gimp/_edit/">http://booki.flossmanuals.net/gimp/_edit/</a><br></div><div><br>
</div><div>What if the Finnish GIMP manual is a remix of the English GIMP manual draft + some parts of the old Finnish manual + some completely new chapters? And then everything has to be updated and edited so that it fits together. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Does this kind of remixing make any sense at all? And can you combine CC and GPL licensed materials just like that? Would the end result use a CC/GPL dual license? </div><div><br></div><div>GIMP is one of those programs that actually has an active Finnish language user community, which means finding contributors is a lot easier. But I don't think that we could do this right now without recycling and remixing a lot of old content. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So there would be a lot of stuff to do in a couple of months:</div><div> </div><div>- Audacity 2.0 update </div><div>- Finishing the OSM translation </div><div>- Booki manual update into a Booktype manual</div>
<div>- "GIMP Remix" manual</div><div>- Possibly an update of the Inkscape manual</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/3/18 adam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adam@flossmanuals.net">adam@flossmanuals.net</a>></span><br>

A question for Adam, I know that you had some good interaction with the<br>
Audacity community when you did the first book, Do you still have<br>
contacts? Do you think they would be interested in a printed FM for<br>
Audacity 2.0?<br>

i think you can write to the list but they prefer to do their 'own' doc efforts...they are a very nice bunch though and worth writing to them just to let them know its happening<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

One thing that might be nice is to have all new screen shots. There are<br>
I think about 4 different kinds of screenshots as the manuals has been<br>
updated.<br>
I don't know if we can get around this but if we are talking about being<br>
able to do a new version of the book for 2.0 which would be great, then<br>
it might look nice. That's a good job for the FM interns when we get them.<br>
<br>
nice one<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Have you checked if Audacity 2.0 is really different from Audacity<br>
1.2.6? In the sense that big changes to the manual are needed. I<br>
didn't get even that far yet. I looked at it very quickly and it<br>
seemed pretty much the same... :)<br>
