Just to bring you all up to date, The Quick Start Guide is now tagged
and in the hands of the translators. Right now, it is being translated
into Danish  • German  • Spanish  • Finnish  • Italian  • Ukrainian  •
Chinese !

Really exciting to see it all take shape!

So now, work is beginning in earnest on the rest of the Handbook.
Please stop by and see what you would like to dig into, and start to
work. Please go to #rokymotion if you are going to be editing, so we
can stay out of one another's way. Only one person can work in a major
section at one time, but that doesn't mean you can't write text, take
screenshots, or edit where no-one else is working. I hope you are all
getting comfortable with the wiki markup -- if you aren't yet, look at
a section which has been done.

More about the Insider in another email.

All the best,

Valorie
