Yeah, we often try to approach people who contribute in this way,
sometimes it works and they join up with us, othertimes, they want to do
their own thing.

Similar to how you've done it, although if I may say so, your email was
so good that I think we should write it down and use it as a template
for these things. Perfect!

Well, the Ubuntu wiki is now (hopefully) turning public domain, so the
author has to release his work before it can be copied to there. Ideally
of course, we'd love it if the author themself brings it into the wiki
and integrates it.

From there we can do the job of incorporating useful bits into our
guides.
