Hello Julian, I'm not a darktable core member. I support the manual and have translated it into German.
Because no one from the darktable team has answered your questions yet, I'll give it a try. If you like to help optimize and proofread the user manual you will need experience with git, github and docbook / xml-files. The user manual is written in docbook. The source of the user manual are xml files, see here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/blob/master/doc/usermanual/ darktable.xml[1] All files for the user manual are located here: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/tree/master/doc/usermanual[2] First of all you will need a github account. Then you can fork the darktable project. Within the fork you can make your changes (local image of your fork on your PC). The changes will then pushed into the darctable project by pull requests. In the internet you will find some help how github works (e.g. https://lab.github.com/githubtraining/ introduction-to-github[3] ) That should be enough for now. Everything else will follow when you're ready e.g. how to build the user manual. Pierre Metzner Am Dienstag, 24.
