Hello all! Some efforts is being made to improve a bit the documentation process: 1. A Python 3 port is being worked on right now by Jacob Boerema (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp-help/-/merge_requests/50). He nearly finished. I don't think anyone is against this since Python 2 is EOL, but if anyone has any comment, please feel free. Also Jacob has some issues with the `xml_helper.py` script so we wondered if this one was actually being used by anyone actually contributing to the documentation (because if not, and it is not considered useful anymore, maybe some time can be saved by dropping this script). In any case, feel free to test the associated branch and make any remark. 2. We are considering branching the tree (to `gimp-help-2-10`) so that the `master` branch will be used for preparing the documentation specific to GIMP 3, whereas any work specific to the 2.10.x series can continue on the new branch. We feel like these 3 plans could be done in about 2 weeks (so let's say the weekend of June 5/6), but if anyone feels like this is wrong, or that things should be done differently, please tell us before we merge the Python 3 port and branch the `master` tree, please. Róman Joost, Ulf-D. Ehlert, Marco Ciampa, Julien Hardelin, Michael Natterer and Michael Schumacher (all in BCC) in particular, you are the co-maintainers of this repository (if the `MAINTAINERS` and .doap files are still up-to-date), so we'd appreciate your input in particular. Any other contributor is welcome to give an opinion too of course. We don't want to do any mistake. 🙂 The third plan we have (not within a 2-week schedule, but hopefully at least before GIMP 3 release) is that we wonder if a better process for releases of the documentation (on the website in particular) could not be done. Maybe we are wrong, but it feels like the release/update into the wild could be improved, couldn't it? What we are thinking are things like tagging the tree leading to automatic (or at least easier) build then publication of the documentation online, probably through the Continuous Integration pipelines (we have been improving GIMP release the same way lately, by generating source tarballs automatically, and these days, we are doing the same with the Windows installer). So same here, if anyone has any opinion or wishes on how the documentation process should be improved, we welcome the ideas and propositions. Thanks all!
