Re: [Audacity-manual] {manual} Your First recording tutorial

[Peter S. <pet...@ya...>]

Hi Bill,

to be honest, yes I had forgotten that you had been working on that page.  That 
work was back in early May I see and I thought that momentum had been lost and 
your work on that had been kicked, by you, into the long grass.

I was responding to the ToDo-2 note that you placed on the Your First Recording 
Tutorial (deeply conscious that a ToDo-2 blocks a stable release - and thus 
trying to prepare the path for 2.0 - and even for the 1.3.14 release it is 
currently a very unwieldy read, leading to TLDR).

I still think it is worth breaking apart the existing tutorial and then 
reviewing it in the light of your new proposed Setup and Configuration pages.  
It is possible that your new stuff could replace items 1 & 2 in my proposed list 
of contents, linked to from the master tutorial page - but personally I prefer 
the flow h/w setup followed by Audacity s/w setup - it flows better that way for 
me.  


Or maybe we should ditch the whole "Your First Recording" Tutorial in favour of 
your new pages (which would need the "Tutorial - ..." labelling as Martyn 
pointed out).  The downside to doing this is that an awful lot of pages link to 
the "Your First Recording" tutorial - so a lot of links to fix too (many of the 
other tutorials link back to YFR).

There is possibly room for both sets of tutorials - but there is such a big 
overlap that it would lead to parallel maintenance and so best avoided.

Your thoughts?

I will be a bit pressed for time in the next couple of weeks (unless it rains in 
SW London - Wimbledon - watching, not playing ! ) so will not have a lot of time 
to work on this over that fortnight.
