Thanks to support from the University of Pittsburgh Department of Chemistry, there is a new manual for Avogadro:

You can find the images and Markdown on GitHub, of course, which should make it fairly easy to edit, patch, and/or translate into other languages:
I would love to get feedback on this draft - what’s missing, what’s confusing, what’s good, what’s not, etc.
Thanks,

P.S. The book can be read online, as PDF, ePub, or MOBI (Kindle) file.
P.P.S. Thanks to Taylor Cornell, who spent multiple hours taking screenshots and working through tutorials and step-by-step guides.
That looks really great Geoff! I took a look through it and it’s a great
resource. Thanks to you and your group for putting the time in on this.
BTW, if any of the features I added, particularly the crystal stuff, need
some explanation let me know. Some of those features/options were rather
esoteric and I likely skimped on documentation here and there with them…
Dave
That is great, thanks for putting this together!
That is great, thanks for putting this together!
It’s now at http://manual.avogadro.cc and I’ll stitch it into the Help menu (i.e., to go to the website) for v 1.2.
The GitBooks service does make it possible to serve multiple languages from the same repository, so translations can be enabled too.
