IRC is not my favorite communication tool, but if that's the best way to reach the devs, I can certainly adapt! I will check in there this weekend. Will also try to review the doc guide. I don't know if I'll be able to make any substantive contributions before fall arrives in North America, but will do my best.

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?</blockquote> I just had a quick chat with one of the folks working on Touch and he said that all he is familiar with is the documentation currently on the wiki: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch</a> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">* Can you get to (a version of) the Ubuntu desktop guide in Unity on a phone/tablet today; if not, is that the plan?</blockquote> I don't know. Are you familiar with IRC? The same community member I spoke with suggested you join the developers in the #ubuntu-touch channel on <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://irc.freenode.net">irc.freenode.net</a> since they would have much more up to date knowledge about specific documentation plans. If you don't have a client, you can connect to chat via this web interface <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://webchat.freenode.net">http://webchat.freenode.net</a>/ Just be patient, people don't always reply quickly on IRC :) <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;">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!</blockquote> Always nice to see professional writers join our ranks. </pre> </blockquote> </div> -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
