Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a rewrite of the short user manual [1] (relevant tickets are: #5571, #5811, #8003, #8779). The next version of the manual will (hopefully) be easier to read and translate, and it will also contain an updated list of frequently asked questions. I hope to have a version out for review next week.

The old version of the manual contains pieces about verifying digital signatures and using open proxies. A number of people have suggested that we either move these pieces into an advanced section of the manual, or that we take them out completely. I intend to take these pieces out completely and suggest that we write separate manuals for them. The new manuals should be easy to read and translate, small enough to send via email, and be in a format which does not get blocked by most email providers (e.g. xhtml).

If you would like to help with these two manuals, please take a look at Trac tickets #9883 and #9884.
