Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
the Inkscape Beginners' Guide is a similar project, which intends to<br>
fill the gap for new users.<br>
<br>
It is currently in the process of moving to Readthedocs. I will close<br>
that manual on flossmanuals soon, as it was near impossible to maintain.<br>
<br>
I like to be able to work with plaintext files, proper versioning and<br>
markup. Flossmanuals couldn't do that for me (and it has stopped<br>
exporting to any format, also, so I had to scrape the website to get my<br>
data out... :-/). It is nice for editors who like to work in WYSIWYG.<br>
<br>
You can find the current version here:<br>

<br>
This manual is geared towards people who know nothing of the concepts.<br>
<br>
There is a TODO list in the repository, in the README.rst (mostly for<br>
layout/markup), and many pages have a 'TODO' in them (for content and<br>
images).<br>
<br>
Currently, content is of secondary concern to me, though, as I'm still<br>
working on getting the markup consistent, and the export right, going<br>
through all the pages repeatedly, until everything is resolved.<br>
<br>
I could definitely use some help with this first step, and with the TODO<br>
items.<br>
<br>
When this is done, we would need to look into updating it for Inkscape 1.0.<br>
<br>
The Inkscape manual on flossmanuals is unmaintained and horribly<br>
outdated, but might at some point in the future be moved over, too - but<br>
that's a project for 'in a couple of years'.<br>

is proprietary,<br>
unfortunately, but it's the most comprehensive manual available.<br>
