Hey folks, I'm looking for some thoughts on whether we should postpone creating a print version
of the Edubuntu Handbook to Edgy+1.

Arguments in favor of postponing until Edgy+1:

- -- Some things in my personal life cropped up, and I'm not sure how much I'll be around between
now and Edgy release day.

- -- The Edgy release cycle is/was unusually short (barely four months compared to six months),
and in that time, the Handbook team has taken on a lot: slight team reorganization, moving from
wiki to DocBook+Subversion, getting Handbook out in print, changing from the Cookbook chapter
breakdown to the Handbook one.  Having one less thing on our plate certainly wouldn't hurt right
now.

- -- The extra time would give us a better shot at making the print Handbook 100% polished (we
don't even have cover art, etc yet).


Arguments against postponing until Edgy+1:

- -- We have to get the digital version of Handbook ready on time for Edgy anyway, and getting
that into a print version isn't that hard.

- -- We've been waiting since the early days of Cookbook to get something in print, and some of us
are feeling anxious to see it done.

- -- We could have the digital Handbook ready in time for the Edgy release, then take a week or
two after that to get the print version in order, thus getting the best of both worlds.



I welcome thoughts/opinions/etc.
