This is the problem/benefit of documentation, there are several 
solutions to a problem. This benefits users as one solution doesn't 
always work for them. I don’t particularly like wikis, so find it hard 
to develop any enthusiasm to deal with them. I do, however, like books 
and therefore find, now I have time, that this is something I can get 
behind. I'm also willing to help the docs team. As you say though these 
things need somebody to drive them, and the enthusiastic volunteers, 
with out the Lubuntu team spreading it's self too thin. This is why I 
wanted to gauge interest before moving forward or not.

Now to see if i can get a webcam working for vUDS :/
