[Bug 1023737] Re: Help Files Need Update

 

Hi Ali,

thanks for you interest, and sorry that it took me so long to come back to you.
Your help is greatly appreciated and we (Robert and I) suggest you just have a go!
I have never worked with mallard myself (the documentation is written in the mallard markup language),
but the official documentation appears to be on:
http://projectmallard.org/
and there is a discussion about editors on:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/28421/what-editor-can-be-used-to-provide-highlighting-for-mallard-project-files

If you know about bazaar you can create a merge request and we will review it.
If you don't know about bazaar just put it somewhere and post a link here.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here, on the mailing list or
in IRC.

Best Regards
Michael

Title:
  Help Files Need Update

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Simple Scan is a relatively young project that is small, valuable, and
  has a small number of developers involved in it; It is exactly the
  type of project I like getting deeply involved with. I just finished
  reading all the open bugs and commented on some. Most of the bug
  reports and feature request, however, require some programming skills
  I have not mastered yet.

  I can still contribute to the project nevertheless. I looked at the
  source files, the help files in particular, and observed that much
  more content can be added. The help documentation was last updated in
  2010 and during the past two years many changes have been made to
  Simple Scan. Furthermore, there are several old  'advanced' features
  that can be added to the documentation such as editing 'advanced'
  settings through gconf-editor which is preinstalled in many
  distributions.  If it is okay with you, I can take care of the
  aforementioned.

  PS: The .page help files can be edited with a simple text editor,
  however, do you know of any software that allows a more graphical
  editing? I am assuming and HTML editor may work, though I have not
  tested that just yet. I would like to add some screenshots and this
  task will be performed more efficiently with a graphical editor rather
  than manually typing the code.
