Much appreciated that you stepped up and made that decision, Ted!

Don't know about "cool"... ;)

Anyway, if it's going to be some kind of talk/presentation, I suppose it
ought to include an overview of the different types of docs which we
currently maintain. There was a classroom session about docs a while
ago, and the log gives you a (basic) overview:

I don't know how much you know, so please come back with more detailed
questions if you need further pointers.

Another suitable topic may be the current challenge: A brand new set of
docs will be written for Unity 8, which will cover the Unity 8 desktop
as well as the phone and tablet.

@Stephen: Are you able to give Ted some input on the plans wrt the Unity
8 docs?

Great, Svetlana! And Jorge O. Castro indicated that he will attend as
well. Hopefully enough to make the attendance result in a few new ideas. :)
