The idea of a book is really nice, off-course it also takes a lot of
time so it should be planned well. But it sure sounds nice especially
if it could be build/tweaked within the wiki

Writing an Ubuntu magazine, what is the public opinion? The guys from
gnome-journal have problems filling up issues, but it sure looks nice.
If we add stuff to Ubuntu traffic then we lighten mako's burden and
always have something to write.

well, that seems already a lot of things to talk about.
