Ubuntu Book

[Michael Steinberg]

Hmmm.

There's no point anyone duplicating anyone else's work. What kind of 
audience is the official Ubuntu book aimed at? Would a project along 
the lines of my sample chapter, meant for beginners, be duplicative? If 
so, I would be happier to turn my attention elsewhere in the project.

If, on the other hand, there is room for both, would Ubuntu and/or 
Canonical have an interest in being involved, or would it have to be a 
strictly extramural undertaking?
