Two newbie questions

Well if you check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocteamProjects these are
the projects that we would like to accomplish for Dapper (with the
possible exception of About Ubuntu which is planned to be a pygtk
application; see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutUbuntu for details).

As always, contributions to the documents in svn are always welcome.
The Ubuntu Documentation Project is community-driven, always was,
always will be :)

Alright, I'll polish the document this weekend and place them in the
wiki at wiki.ubuntu.com/Presentations
