"Teams" seem to generate a lot of talk and "politics", but do not always
result in actual work being done.

The original idea was that we would do a 13.10 Lubuntu Manual as a
preview for the full version for 14.04.  But it didn't happen, at least
not as far as I know.

We (I) did create a subtree of the Ubuntu Manual project sources, and
developed a script to allow folks wanting to work on this a quick way to
install everything needed (TeX, and various related things).  However,
it seems I am the only person who ever commited any work to that bzr
subtree.  And even that was back in June.

My setup instructions from back then for getting started were:

 (1) Install Lubuntu 13.04, log in, open LXTerminal.
 (2) wget

 (3) chmod +x lubuntu-manual-dev.sh
 (4) ./lubuntu-manual-dev.sh
