[Ubuntu-be] Dutch Ubuntu 12.04 Manual V0.1 Draft

[Wouter Vandenneucker]

Okay Guys

We're getting there.. So far we've got about 63 pages and only a handful of
smaller chapters to write. (Only the settings chapter is going to be a damn
awful lot.. :O)
After those are written we *only* need to:

   - Add some pictures/logo's to fill up the first couple of chapters (see:
   http://design.ubuntu.com)
   - Check the spelling (srsly, I can't spell at all!)
   - Give it to the people at ERGO and get our computers in return
   - include the installation procedure
   - Revise the whole text
   - Publish our own manual on the website
   - Maintain it...

Anyone who's willing to help me with this, please feel free to commit. I'd
like to get the writing and those first 2 steps done by tomorrow evening.
(Knowing I'm starting my vacationjob tomorrow it guess it's going to be a
loong night..) Also if you disagree with the proposed course of action,
please tell me how to make it better!

And thx Jan, really appreciate you like my effort.

By this I'm sharing the latest version of both the PDF file and the ODT
file.
And please, by all means: DO NOT PUBLISH THESE FILES OR EVEN KEEP THEM ON
YOUR DRIVE LONGER THAN YOU NEED TO READ THEM!
Also: DON'T EVER GIVE THE ODT FILE TO PEOPLE WHO SHOULD ONLY READ IT, EVER!

I don't want to sound harsh, but having a semi-complete version floating
around is only going to get us in trouble and it gives the impression to
new people that Ubuntu-be can't manage to complete something. As for the
ODT file, for reading purposes nobody should ever, ever use that one! Not
for this manual, not for any document. This, as it will only result in the
all known issue of text and images jumping around like a crazy horse & it
being a stimulance for people to create wild-flesh-like derivatives.

Please, don't get me wrong. When we have a file that is release ready, by
all means share it with everybody! Heck, even stimulate other people to
make their own "branch"/version of it and then merge it with our version.
But for now, just keep it contained..

PS: If anybody feels I was to bold in this email, please forgive me. I just
don't like to find myself in the future searching for manual
