Re: [Vala] vala-list Digest, Vol 142, Issue 5

To access Wikipedia editing it needs to be asked in the GNOME chat here, at
least I did and it worked. Yes it would be great if someone updated these
guides. https://riot.im/app/#/room/#_gimpnet_#gnome:gnome.org

I was finishing the translation of vala guides into Russian, but there was
a very unusual editor of articles with previously unknown markup (for
me)(it's not MD, but Rosetta code uses the same) and I just moved
everything to GitBook leaving a link there. One of the Vala users asked me
to transfer the English guide to Gitbook as well.
