It may still be useful if you can get it cheap, but it is out of date. I
wrote that just as Rosegarden 1.0 was coming out, and a great deal has changed
since then.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to put together a print version of our
current documentation. We have moved all of it to a wiki now, in order to
make it easier to maintain, and easier for people to help with writing
documentation, but this has made it more difficult to produce PDF files.
If someone has a copy of Acrobat Professional (yah, sorry, junk $$$
Windows/Mac software!), it can be used to convert an entire website
(such as a wiki) into a PDF.
The documentation is not in the best of shape either,
I fear. I used to be
the documentation writer, and that was my only responsibility. Now I manage
the entire project, and do a lot of the development. Documentation has fallen
way down on my list of priorities, and I don't have much time to be involved
with keeping it up to date. We have help from several people who have taken
up some of my slack in this area, but the job is very large, and our
documentation is always the last thing to get done.
I wish I had the time. Used to make a living as a tech writer that wrote
user manuals ...
