<br>
We hope to release LyX 2.4.0 in the next couple months.
Before then, <br>
there is some work that needs to be done on the
documentation. If you've <br>
always wanted to contribute to LyX but haven't because you
don't know <br>
how to code, then this is your chance! <br>
<br>
The main task that needs doing is to copy the changes made
in the <br>
English documentation over into the Spanish, French,
German, and <br>
Japanese manuals, so that the translators can do translate
it. You do <br>
NOT have to speak one of these languages to do this
(though that might <br>
be helpful). It really is just a matter of going through
the English <br>
manual, finding the new or changed material (which is
marked with <br>
change-tracking), and pasting it into the other manuals.
It's rote work, <br>
but important work nonetheless. <br>
<br>
Longer-term, we could also use someone to act as
documentation manager <br>
during the 2.5 development cycle and to do this kind of
work along the <br>
way. If you'd be interested in that job, please do let us
know. <br>

Thanks, Baris. We have someone doing Spanish. You want to
choose a <br>
language? <br>

I can do whichever language is available. Where can I get the
English manual for 2.4.x? Is it the one that comes with the
install? Does it have tracking marks(I did not install it on
this PC, so I cannot check it right now)? Please let me know how
to proceed. <br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<p>OK, I have 2.4.0dev1 install on this PC and the tracked cahnges
in the English manuals are like this:</p>
<p><img src="cid:part2.F3AF84AA.278521FE@lyx.org" alt="" class=""></p>
<p><img src="cid:part3.0D873844.CFB3C857@lyx.org" alt="" class=""></p>
<p>So, I have to copy/past these changes to the proper locations
of the other language's manual. Right?<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, that's right. But you don't need to copy over merely
grammatical changes, or minor editorial ones. You can use your
best judgement there.</p>
<p>Why don't you take French, then?<br>
