Hi Ann and Steve and all,
Believe me, a "Getting Started" braille manual is very high up my list, and one
I am desperately wanting to have done for the next release. Indeed the whole
question of packaging is being reviewed. Right now, it costs a small fortune
to ship, especially Internationally (And don't I know it!!)
I am also aiming at producing, at the very least, braillable files. The
getting started manual would then carry instructions, and a list of what files
explain what. Users can then decide what they want to braille out locally.
I won't rule out a full manual, but with over 650 Topics, it would be huge, and
much of it would probably end up as a door stop.
