Hmm, I was not aware that the freeze is so close and that this
documentation is proposed for Edgy. I was discussing the implications of
merging the documents for whatever purposes, not for a particular
release.

Maybe a better way to do documentation in the future is to take what the
Gnome Documentation Project have written and "Ubuntu-ize" it. It would
certainly save on duplication of documentation writing effort for what
is essentially the same interface. Time frames and procedures may need
to change to accommodate for this though.

With the freeze 9 days away I doubt you have little choice other then to
do just that.
