Edubuntu Handbook... postponing print version???

[Robert]

My vote is for the folks creating the Handbook to do that which works 
best for them. There is more than one, yes? Those of us out here using 
*buntu are benefiting greatly from your efforts and want you to know how 
much you are appreciated. We all understand the needs of ones personal 
life. Thanks for asking.
