(June 27) To all our team members who are interested in helping to write 
documentation for Unity 8:
About a week ago I wrote to our list, and to Ian, that I wanted to start 
gathering information and test Unity 8 on my desktop. I did not get it 
working well, so I filed a bug on June 22, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8-desktop-session/+bug/1595238.
I am still waiting patiently to see if anyone can help me get System 
Settings, Browser and Terminal work so I can get on with my exploration.
In the meantime, I want to know if gathering information on Unity 8 and 
publish it in a shared document, or send it to this list, is a good 
idea. So far, I have not got any reaction on the above emails.
