Projects

(in progress) 2015 - Rewrite release 1.0

In order to update the documentation to follow the 1.0 release, a major revision of the documention is needed.

In some cases, draft work have been already done in the Talk section of the pages.

According the synfigstudio 1.0 single window (and other changes) UI a global review and update of the screenshots must be done...

The documentation can be now rewrited directly on the Pages (It's no more necessary to use the Talk Pages nor the "Rewrite preparation for 0.65" has modification comment has suggested previously)

2014-2015 - Rewrite preparation for future release 1.0

The documentation can be now rewrited directly on the Page. It's no more necessary to use the Talk Pages nor the "Rewrite preparation for 0.65" has modification comment has suggested previously.

To have a look of what has been already initiate : http://wiki.synfig.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=rewrite+0.65&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&profile=advanced

According the synfigstudio 1.0 single window (and other changes) UI a global review and update of the screenshots must be done...

(No more useful) Write inside Talk:Pages the new feature that will be available in synfig 1.0 in order to not do visible modification until next release is out.

(No more useful) Suggested workflow : use "Rewrite preparation for 0.65" has modification comment, and add "Rewrite preparation for 0.65" sentence inside the Talk Page (to get an easy way to retrieve all the pages who need to be updated once 1.0 will be out)
