Revision as of 00:45, 22 April 2010

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)

Doc Toughts

Impression:

  • much better beginning now! congrats! ;-) --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I like the new pic style (with frame, name and ref) --Ohoservices 09:59, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Possible changes: to be decided/discussed about

  • 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 section here. --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • 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)
    • I would remove development notes completely, maybe move to end of doc as "synfig future" or so --Ohoservices 09:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Replace "CONTROL key" with template. --Zelgadis 15:39, 17 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)
  • "Linking" should be split in "Linking" and "Color selection" --Ohoservices 10:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • maybe also we can add how to change colors by using the "Params" Panel, would fit quite nicely... --Ohoservices 10:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Color: Foreground/Background should be renamed to Fill/Outline --Ohoservices 10:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • All parts should be illustrated much more, a beginner likesd to have some pics to verify he/she is doing well... --Ohoservices 10:05, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Navigation "<<" leads to "Synfig vs. Synfig Studio". Should we remove that? I think so. --Ohoservices 10:13, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Add and use "Literal" template --Zelgadis 14:51, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
  • can we make the notes boxes as wide as the rest of the doc? currently they appear smaller and centered. --Ohoservices 22:45, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
