Hi folks,
I've just joined the team, and look forward to helping out when I can.
I am also working on a third-party users guide to Ubuntu Touch for Sams
Publishing, and plan a chapter on documentation and other "ways to get
help." I have a few questions to start with (and suspect there will be
more as time goes on), and I hope someone here can answer them or direct
me to an appropriate place/person:
* Is there anyone working on documentation for (any of) the Touch Core
Apps at this point?
* Can you get to (a version of) the Ubuntu desktop guide in Unity on a
phone/tablet today; if not, is that the plan?
Unfortunately, Sams (Pearson Education) owns the copyright on this book,
so I can't offer my text as official documentation. But I am definitely
willing to help with editing such a project.
By way of introduction, I am a technical writer by trade. By day, I
write manuals for PKWARE (the folks that invented the ZIP compression
format). I wrote two editions of "openSUSE Linux Unleashed" in the early
2000s, and also two editions of "WordPress in Depth" with Bud Smith.
Many thanks for any help you can offer!
