Hello Document Writers

As LibreCAD 2.2.0-RC1 moves towards release I've started writing guides and tool descriptions.  I've only posted a couple of pages so far, but as it has been pointed out elsewhere in the forums, the are a number of manuals, guides, and tutorials posted throughout the wiki, unfortunately many are out of date.  While I've started writing a couple of things, in the back of my head I'm always thinking 'Where should this go to make is easy to find for (new) users?', "What topics/format/etc should be used?", and many other questions that relate to writing documentation for LibreCAD.

There are other areas in the forum, notably “Tutorials / Manual topics”, that discuss many items related to user documentation that will useful for writing up-to-date and relevant documents.  Some of these can be adopted or integrated into new pages, but in a structured way that would allow users to navigate the documentation, but a good starting point would be helpful.

LoB (Lord of Bikes) has created this sub-forum to allow us as documentation writers to discuss topics related to documentation.  For those that are wanting to contribute to LibreCAD's documentation, I'd like to invite comments, ideas, and even submissions.
