Typo's in the Ubuntu Book

Hi

Recently I downloaded the current svn trunk, and starting reading Chapter 1
in the Ubuntu Book (/teamstuff/book) - there I have so far discovered at
least two typos: On page 14: "Ubuntu includes on the order or 17,000 pieces
of software on its central servers" which I guess should be " Ubuntu
includes on the order of 17,000 pieces of software on its central servers"?

and on page 27: " As mentioned above, Canonical Ltd. is a company founded by
Shuttleworth with the primary goal of developing and supported the Ubuntu
distribution." which should be " As mentioned above, Canonical Ltd. is a
company founded by Shuttleworth with the primary goal of developing and
supporting the Ubuntu distribution."

How would I normally go about fixing these kinds of minor typos? I tried
doing a .diff, but I guess that kind of stuff only works on .xml (the
docbook stuff)

Also, in some ways the book could perhaps do with a bit of updating? On page
7: " Born in April 2004 and at just under two years old at the time of this
writing, a history of Ubuntu may seem premature. However, the last two years
have been full ones for Ubuntu." could maybe do with some updating?

Thanks
