GIMP-Help
---------
GIMP-Help is a help system designed for use with the internal GIMP help
browser, external web browser and HTML renderers, and human eyeballs.
Docbook is used to create a highly customizable system for all needs.

Recent changes and updates about the modules are available at:
http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs
Tips for contribution
---------------------
Write a mail to one of the authors (have a look at the file AUTHORS).
They should know what tasks need to be done and can find something to
do for you. You should subscribe to the gimp mailing lists to get up
to date information of the current GIMP development.
What you should know
--------------------
You should know a bit about Docbook and XML, or be smart enough to learn
the syntax yourself. You can get more information about Docbook and XML
under the Links.
Editors, Programs and Setups
----------------------------
Use any editor you want, but you should handle it well. Please keep in
mind, that the tab width in XML Mode should be 2 spaces. If you send us
a patch, create the diff as a unified diff by typing
cvs diff -pu > help.patch
from your gimp-help-2 directory.
Provided you have xmllint installed, you can check the
well-formedness of the XML files by running
make lint
and validate the XML by running
make validate
Hints for making good screenshots
---------------------------------
* please make screenshots only with the system default theme, which
is of course just the plain gtk+ default look
* use default fonts like Bitstream Vera Sans
* crop the window manager borders
* provide your source images (eg. for making new screenshots in other
languages)
