<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Rosalind:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I've reviewed your newly-added Mac install material, and i think it looks great. Very professional. As for leaving the 1.x material there, I'm of two minds (well, not really, but trying to be open-minded). It doesn't
hurt (at least too much) since it's pushed to the bottom of the page; on the other hand there's no new language indicating that it's a legacy install, and instead the old material still begins with the text "<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">The
latest stable version of </span><strong style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Audacity</strong><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"> for </span><strong style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">OS

The latest version at the time of writing this document is </span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><b>Audacity 1.2.5 (Intel) or Audacity 1.2.6a (PPC)."
</b>BOTH of those statements are factually incorrect now<b>. </b></span><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">So a user might still be confused if they read to this point.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br>
</span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">I personally removed all traces of 1.x reference from the parts of the manual I rewrote (which is almost everything else).
I think the key question is: what is the actual use case for a user needing a fresh or first-time install of a 1.x version of Audacity, on any OS? It seems very very narrow to me. I think it's still possible to find legacy 1.x install files from the main
Audacity site (though not from SourceForge), but you'd really have to hunt the Audacity site and wiki to find supporting documentation for those early versions. Certainly nothing else in our own rewritten Floss manual supports it. And even if someone already
knew the software well, and just had corrupted or lost their install, it's hard to imagine why they wouldn't upgrade. There are a ton of things you can't do in 1.1 and 1.2 that you can in 2.2, including lots of file types you can't open or export, let alone
read other Audacity projects. So...if it were me, I would zap the old material completely. Or at a minimum, add language indicating that it is deprecated. But your call; this is your chapter.</span></p>

<div class="" style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px">I am in the process of rewriting the Audacity manual to reflect the fairly substantial changes from the initial (1.x) release to the latest (2.2.1). There are specific chapters on installation for Ubuntu
and Mac OS that I cannot address, having no access at present to either OS. In addition, the chapter on Recording includes a long section on configuring your Mac for recording with Audacity (a bunch of specific steps you needn't take with Windows or Linux).
Looking at the official Audacity documentation, it appears to me that much in this section no longer applies, but I can't tell for sure without Mac access. And to the extent that any of this Mac-specific recording config is still necessary, we'd need a Mac
anyway to generate the new screenshots where necessary (and I'm guessing they would be, as I've had to replace every single Windows screenshot in the manual with a new one). So, any help on this score would be appreciated. The Mac and Ubuntu installation
chapters, and this part of the Recording chapter, are the only parts I think can't be adequately covered with a Windows machine.</div>
