I think we need to understand the nature of the filters first - I mean, are they considered a part of Inkscape proper, or an addition that could be removed at some point or changed?
If we do document them, I think we might consider just having a quick description of what each does with a screenshot. I just foresee this as becoming a lot of extra work when we're obviously undermanned already. I hate being contentious, but we have to consider the workload. If we *do* indeed decide to document them in the manual, I believe it would be best to finish .46 before we do that. Yes, we'll need to make a concerted effort at finishing .46, but I would prefer not to have several versions of a half-finished manual - one is enough. It does bring up the point for discussion, however, that we could decide to make a truncated, basic version of the .46 manual (like basically what's there right now), call it finished, and move on to .47. Any thoughts? Desolee, Elisa, que ce message n'est pas plus facile de comprendre...le langue est assez technical, et il est tres tard ici. JF PS - Ivan, I think your work is excellent, and I'm very happy to see it in Inkscape. Please don't take this as a personal assault - it's certainly nothing of the sort. I'm simply questioning the prudence of taking this on when we don't have the manpower to do what we're already committed to. I'd be very happy to have you document the filters in the manual, though, if you're so inclined (and I'll definitely encourage you to do so!!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
