Welcome to the experimental blender wiki!

Concept

Why is this wiki?

Blender doc is well written - isn't it?

Blender documentation is written entertainingly and enganging. It is certainly understandable even for non-native speakers.

Reading as a non-native

But I had to think twice with this one:

• How to 'coarse'?
• What is 'daunting'
• Do I 'grasp'?

Simpler but more enganging?

Simple English vs An Entertaining Read - a trade-off?

What must be sacrificed, what has to give for the goal to make it easier to understand for non-natives? Is there a trade-off between comprehensibility and entertaining readability?

Experimenting with ASD1000STE

The idea is to review Blender's documentation to make it easier to understand for non-native English speakers. The standard that follows will serve as guidline: ASD1000STE – Simplified Technical English.

Guideline

Target group
