I feel like the "no-media-file branch" would work best as a reference? Even if it's not on the live media, it would still be handy to have in the repository. > > PLUG: > > If anybody is willing to volunteer an hour or two, to help point out > > exactly what needs to be updated in the Guide and how, I'd greatly > > appreciate it! > > > > List of Potential Changes: > > - the LilyPond chapter uses Frescobaldi 1.x > > - Qtractor has been updated significantly > > - the "real time" portion could use a rewrite > > - will we get supercollider into the Fedora repository? > > - all the NEW or ASSIGNED bugs on Bugzilla[0] > > Unfortunately I don't really use any of those packages, but I could > take a stab at some of the bugzillas, particularly copy editing or > Jack setup. Is there a timeline they'd be needed for? Now's your chance to learn those applications! In fact, if you don't use them, it might be better, because the documentation clearly isn't intended for people who already know what they're doing. Either way, there is a lot of copy-editing to be done. With one paragraph a day for a week or two, you can work through a whole chapter. In fact, that sounds like something I should be doing! We usually branch the Guides for the November release in the middle of September, and send them for translation, which for the Musicians' Guide only happens sometimes. But you can submit something at any time, and it'll get out there eventually. I'll start with SuperCollider. Christopher.
