DocBook and introduction

[Emma Jane Hogbin]

G'day,

I noticed a hole at:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/styleguide/en/styleguide-docbook-style.html

for which I may be able to provide some filler from:
http://tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/using-docbook.html

The original document was written in DocBook XML and is available 
through the GNU Free Documentation License. I am happy to notify the LDP 
discuss mailing list to let them know about the document's re-use if its 
contents are of use to Ubuntu.

And also an introduction. Hello! My name is Emma. I go by "emmajane" in 
virtually all on-line forums/IRC. The list of what I do is long but not 
limited to: developing on-line communities with the Drupal CMS package; 
writing technical documentation and training newbs; making crafty things 
(I quilt and knit and crochet and ...); organizing IT conferences; and 
drinking Scotch. I do all of these things as a consultant and as a 
volunteer from my home office in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada (which is 
about 2.5 hours north of Toronto, Canada). Google will also reveal many 
other random bits of information about me. Some of it is even true!

Additional interests include making a stripped down, teen-friendlier 
version of Linux documentation. My local LUG has been recycling old 
hardware and giving it to families in need as identified by a local 
charitable organization. For this project we're using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. 
There have been a few docs we've shipped out with the machines but all 
of them have additional layers of fluff that aren't relevant to our 
users (and with not nearly enough graphical interest to make them worth 
reading at the age of 14).

I am happy to help out with other documentation as needed. Personally, I 
use Ubuntu as my primary (and only) desktop environment. As a result I'm 
most familiar with general desktop applications, although I've retained 
a fair amount of CLUE-friendliness from my Debian days. If there are 
known gaps I'm happy to take a look.

regards,
emma
