No problem Will.

I believe ogra has them somewhere. Not positive on their location though.

Yes Scott has been working on the LTSP sections that will be going into the
Handbook. I have been working somewhat on the stand alone sections, as well
as playing with the SCP, which of course is going to be changing again :)

Very true. I am going to go through the sections and do just that, which will
simplify a decent portion of the entire handbook.

The Handbook could definitely be used to create a topic based approach. I am
going to go out on a limb and say we could start separating it for a topic
based approach, which oddly enough was the original way I had set the
handbook up. Since Edubuntu uses Yelp for it's help system, I would rather
one of the GNOME guys step up and say yes it will be good, or why not wait a
release until it is perfected.
