new doc

• Read through the page, checking if all recommendation applicable to latest synfig version.
• Update screenshots (remember, that in mediawiki you can upload new version of the same file, no need to invent new filename)
• Ensure that page using proper templates, i.e.:
  • Title and Navigation is set at the top
  • For menu invocations use "c" template. i.e. "File → Save" will be transformed into File -> Save. That way we will be able to keep formating of menu invocation consistent across the whole doc. And maybe implement some auto-translation later...
  • Think about other templates we may need, i.e.: Warning, Note...
• After that set {{Category|Verified}} for this page. --Zelgadis 15:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

First Steps

• Text under "Development notes" should go to some introduction chapter probably. "Functional overview of Synfig" maybe? (see 1) --Zelgadis 15:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
• Replace "CONTROL key" with template.

Doc Toughts

to be decided/discussed about

Impression:

• much better beginning now! congrats! ;-) --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Possible changes:

• Layers should just show a few layers for the beginning and it should be discussed after the user has created some objects that show up as layers so that he/she can experinece what we describe. --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
• at the end we should say next chapter, not tutorial as we are not in the tutorials chapter here. --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
• I would remove development notes completely, maybe move to end of doc as "synfig future" or so --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
• the note about the problem with input devices: is that on Linux only? if so: then we should mention that, later we should copy that to installation chapter maybe just leaving a link here. Does thgat go away with 0.62.xx? --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
• autorecover feature should be moved to "functional Overview" as well later on --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
