write documentation for new scarab release

Hi 
all,

I have the question, when it is recommended to write some
documentation 
for scarab. Now, or near before the next release? (In my
case I mean the 
default report for example.) I looked into the docs and saw,
that only 
adding some text is not possible in all cases, and some
sections have to 
be overworked on the whole.

cheers
Johannes

IMO ideally we should update the documentation as we develop
a new feature.
So just go ahead and submit a patch.

However, let's hear what Jean-François has to say. He is the
creator of most of the current documentation.

If you drop any chunk of interesting documentation to the
dev list, with 
a hint that it should be included in the current doc, and if
possible 
where, I''ll be happy to care for the rest !!
(polish if necessary, format in DocBook/Xml, regenerate,
republish).

I would like to submit a patch for the docu files. In which
way pictures 
(screenshots) are handled?

cheers

Since I need to have several screenshots for the different
languages 
(well, at least for en and fr) when possible, if the
explanation is 
clear enough I'll do/redo them anyway so... normal
screenshots to show 
what you intend to explain ?

I need screenshots which are more up to date, and show the
new features. 
I only want to replace the old ones.

No problem, just tell me where/what you want.
Tell what's out of date and I'll make new ones in EN and
FR.
At this moment may take a few days because I need a fresh
setup of 
Scarab HEAD.
