Re: Editing milestone - 15 June

 

Two things (one slightly related and one not so related) that I'd like
to add. 1. I'll be uploading two new screenshots for my section
(Advanced Topics) shortly.  and 2. If you're an author (not involved in
the editing process), now is the time to start prepping for the 12.10
release (if you plan on writing for it). I would suggest setting up a
virtual machine, and when the beta comes out, installing that.

Aside from that, I just want to say "Way to go everyone!!!!!" We
essentially cut the lag time for the project down from six months + down
to just shy of two months between release of the version, and release of
the manual. That's awesome!!!!!

Have a great day:)
Patrick.
