Hello all, everything is in place for the manual... but we have problem
with screenshots.

Let's pass this barrier. It's very sad to have a manual finished and not
being able to release it because of such an issue.

The problem is that screens were captured at different resolutions, all
screenshots must be captured at the same resolution. In previous releases
we had a tool that ease the whole process but that doesn't happen now.

We need your help to proceed. All screenshots must be captured at the same
resolution, we use 1024x768 as a convention for the oneiric series. Note,
that *it's a different thing to capture a screen and then scale it to the
conventional resolution*. We want all screens to be captured at 1024x768.

@Authors: Please make sure that you have captured the screenshots at the
conventional resolution. Respond to this mail immediately ! I need to know
if you can do the job or not.


*I'm not author can I help ?

Of course you can.


*What are the screens that need to be taken ?

Check the draft 8 to see what the screens are. Before you start capturing
screens, let the project know that you want to be assigned on some specific
screenshots. I or the author will give you the ok, within 12 hours.


*I've got the ok, and i captured the screens. What i do now ?

Well, you can commit the screens directly to our bzr branch (check [1] for
more info), or if you don't want to mess up with bzr you can simply send
the pics to me and i'll commit the screens to branch for you.

If you can't crop the screen, don't worry. We'll crop it for you.
