Re: [Ubuntu Manual] Oneiric series screenshot fixes

 

I did the 'Reading and Composing Email' section, there is one screenshot that looks ok. Does it need to be redone? I don't see it marked but I can redo it straight away and send it to you if need be, just let me know.

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.

Sorry for being unable to contribute to the project, but the last 1-2 months i was extremely busy.
Let me know what you think, feel free to express your thoughts.

Have a great weekend !
