MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Wanted: Volunteers to Update the Sigil User's Guide

Hi,

My thoughts were in two passes:

First pass, since the vast majority of the information is unchanged, simply proceed file by file to edit out of date references to 0.7.2 / Tidy etc and, if more than simple editing is needed, I would mark the spot with the string ****FIXME****.

Second pass, fill in the ****FIXME**** pieces creating any new material/chapters.

I was working my way through pass 1 slowly. Just trying to update things. I had not yet had to insert a ****FIXME*** anyplace, so far. I was trying to do one file per day in pass one to keep things simple. But with enough volunteers, you could split up the assignments across files (chapters) and do pass one in parallel.

But, please feel free to do it any way you like.

Thanks,

KevinH
