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|Updated}} for this page. --Zelgadis 15:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC) - Upload sources for screenshots --Zelgadis
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)
- We can, but I think that way they look better on the page. Blender uses same formatting for notes. --Zelgadis 06:23, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Fixes needed dead links
- link to "Toolbox" should go to "Category:Toolbox" --Ohoservices 21:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- link to "Panels" should go to "Category:Panels" --Ohoservices 21:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- link to "Canvas Window" and "Root Canvas" should use the "Canvas" link as well... right? --Ohoservices 21:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- "bounding box" link (remove or add doc page) --Ohoservices 21:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
- "selection box" link (remove or add doc page)
