Will you print out the GWX 2.0 manual?

donw · 12-05-07, 04:17 PM

OK...you've all had a chance to breeze thru it. I've never hosted a poll, but I really would like to know if now's a good time to invest in a major printer Ink Company!

The manual will be constantly updated, so it's up to you really.

For example, the manual in the final GWX 2.0 release will be v2.03, whereas the versions you are able to get now are v2.04. The version changed in about 24hrs.

Regardless what you choose to do, the versions that are available from the GWX Website will be the most current ones.

Hi!

Print a 600+ page manual that's already in PDF format with lots of internal hotlinks? :hmm:

I don't think so!

Vote = No
I hate all that printed stuff.... and I hate printing at all

I only need printed stuff when I'm sitting at ....... (well, that place, you now, where you have time to read, looooot's of time) and that's it.

Is there a forward schedule of further planned updates ?
If yes, can you advise the chapters please?

Anyway:

and thanks for all your admirable amount of work

No Fecking way will I, and I will tell you why. I got an ink printer and the cost of ink in the UK is a Fecking rip off.

Same in the U.S.

The cost of ink/printer cartridges is absolutely STUPID!!!

When I'm sure the manual is 'finalized' (currrently it remains a living document) ... then I will print it out.

I wonder how long it would take to print the GWX manual? How many hours!

Hi!

I don't have any real schedule, other than to fix typographic and other errors that people find over the next few weeks.

Anything beyond fixing small errors will likely focus on "filling in the corners" of things that we've done in GWX but which I just haven't had time to document in "Das Buch." Yes, even with 600+ pages there's stuff that is not yet documented.

Thanks!

What I may do once you release the very last final version is to take it to my printers, probably work out a lot more cheaper and faster.

Well, it depends on your Printer speed. With 600+ pages in the current edition:

Six pages per minute: ~100 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory

Nine pages per minute: just over 60 minutes, not counting loading the document into the printer's memory.

Exactly what I was thinking Steedman. Even printing it all in greyscale (which would take away a lot of enrichment) would surely burn up at least one full black ink cartridge...hiring a printer to do it would probably be cheaper!
