      Writing user documentation

      Presenter needs some documentation for how to use the software.
      Ideally, we'd be using something like Mallard to present the documentation to the user, but just text files would be fine!
      Things to be covered should include:
      a) how to get it setup (select monitor to display the output window on, show the output window)
      b) how to show something on-screen (open item, display on output window)

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

    • [X]

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Presenter that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Video handler using gstreamer

      It needs knowledge about both GTK and gstreamer threads, and you often get X window errors when you do things in the wrong order.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
