ubuntu-doc Digest, Vol 42, Issue 16

Tue Mar 18 14:22:31 UTC 2008

Hi everybody!

Does anybody on the Ubuntu Studio team or any other media production
software team nead help editing or proofreading?  Also, I'm about to install
Hardy alpha 6 on an LV so if anybody would like me to look at some newer
docs I'd be happy to do that too.
