Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Manual

[Miguel Rodríguez Pérez <migrax terra es>]

So, while reading this today i had some ideas (yes guys, sometimes it
happens) that told to Matthias, but he's very cruel and evil and wants
me to tourture my keyboard and post them to the ml...

<migras> matti: some ideas for the manual (3)o here they go: (edited irc logs)
<Matthias> migras: post your ideas in the ml ;)
<migras> Matthias: a) add an introductory section about VoIP (at a very basic level, of course)
<migras> Matthias: b) I forgot :(
<migras> Matthias: c) ask people in the gnome-doc project (or whatever is called) for technical help
<Matthias> cat $output[migras] > /dev/gm-devel-ml ;)
<Matthias> migras: For technical help?
<migras> Matthias: b) a section about firewalls, of course!!
<migras> Matthias: yeah, how to translate it, what tools to use, etc...
<Matthias> migras: there is no need to ask, there are some documentations about that ;)
<migras> Matthias: that's offline asking ;)[1]

Ok, so that it is... Hope you do a great manual.
