If you want to print the beginner’s guide, then probably yes: http://b2evolution.net/man/user-guide/

hello,
..is there a short user manual [printable] in Englisch for the newest b2evolution?
Thanks,
Hans
Social CMS
May it should be called CMS++ because CMS is almost known and the ++ you can explain … ;)
Any clue to guess when the new version is ready?
Users won’t have to learn any tags as they won’t write any manual page. They will be able to leave comments but we’ll reformat them for them.
We will also try to answer their questions by writing new manual pages, as long as the questions are of general purpose and not situation specific technical support.
Was about time..
I hope it will be kept as simple as possible.. I dont fancy a lot of people would be keen to learn a lot of [short_code] and {fancy-tag} mumbo-jumbo like wiki’s, i mean i would not.
Regular users could only write so much as they know, which would be far from sufficient.And we dont have many of them anyway.
We need main developers, the ones who exactly know what they are writing, (especially you) to step in i guess.
Writing documents is always a pain in the a** i know.Sometimes it may take an hour to write about a code which might have took 15 minutes to actually create it.
BUT, you write it once, and hundreds benefit, if not thousands, which will only make it better and easier as more people are capable of chipping in, both code & manual-wise.
Gary: Yes a mobile theme is on the todo list but I don’t know which look to use exactly yet. Do you have any recommendations?
Keith: b2evo 4.1 has easy “change your profile pic". Is it facebook-like enough or are you thinking about something else.
Comment threading: I really don’t like it but it’s been requested so many times that I am giving in. It will probably be in version 5 ;)
Hi Francios,
I would like to see a mobile device friendly theme for b2Evo.
Great work on the project. Thank you.
I suppose you’ll want the uploading of images to be similar to how Facebook does it. When you’re viewing your own profile, there’s a “Change your profile pic” link. But really, the thing I’d love to see in 4.2 is comment threading. That is really the one area where b2evolution is clearly behind the competition.
I am so habit-driven also. I can really relate! Great analogy.
Hi there, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.
Well thought out posting.
It took you more than a month longer than expected, so I don’t think you are evil just because testing it a few days more on effective practice.
However, I can hardly wait to test it myself ;)
I read this post via the twitter feed. It was interesting to see both sides of the what will be an ongoing story.
Also, b2evo is great. Congratulations… Bye
Hi ..
I would like a plugin for b2evo to treat photos like WP 2.9 or Orkut. Also, an improvement in the uploaded files.
Tks
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary….ugh…nevermind.
Francois,
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You and the folks who have been helping are making a real difference in the world whether you realize it or not so keep on keeping on!

B2 is great, Francois. It keeps getting better and so far we have all of the really important plug-ins. I hope for both our sakes, that it continues.
