</div>That's true, but the problem is, if Canonical decide to release Unity<br>
under a license that's incompatible with ubuntu-docs, they might just<br>
rewrite the Unity docs and add them directly into the package. If that<br>
happens, we've effectively wasted our time. This makes the docs more<br>
difficult to upstream too (although we could create a unity-docs<br>
package, I suppose).<br>
<br>
This only amounts to a hypothetical risk and a minor annoyance, so it's<br>
not a massive deal. It does make me feel uneasy about the relationship<br>
between the docs team, Ubuntu, and Canonical, though. If we don't sign<br>
the agreement, will we end up marginalised as a team?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Things are a bit more straight-forward for kubuntu-docs as we don't have to deal w/ Unity. For kubuntu-docs we are trying to provide documentation on how KDE/Kubuntu does things. The docs are a bit more updated and current then they have been but still need lots of love for Natty and going forward. </div>
<div>Is there a way to bring Ubuntu Manual/Ubuntu Docs back together to get a solid release of documentation? Or are we willing to wait for the different books to cover that material?</div></div>
