I just try to help Peter maintain it. I found it invaluable when I first was getting started trying to help contribute via the serverguide project. I still find it invaluable, and refer it almost daily. Thanks to Peter for such a succinct, yet thorough, basic page for the serverguide project.</span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;">The “kick start” part of the serverguide page is covered by the new “getting started” page for the DeskTop help [1]. (At least that was the hope when Benjamin Kerensa started the new page during the last cycle.)</span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;">Myself, I had thought of the serverguide Contribution table and the google document list as similar. A small group of us did have a continued debate via e-mail after the meeting about the use of the google page verses something else. Perhaps that debate should have occurred on this list (it is my fault that it didn’t). One plus for continuing with the google page is that during peak times, the ability for multiple to edit at the same time was considered important (The serverguide should be so lucky as to suffer from multiple people wanting to edit the wiki at the same time).</span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;">[1] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuDesktopGuide">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuDesktopGuide</a></span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;">[2] <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServerGuide">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServerGuide</a></span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;">… Doug</span></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in;"><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma", "sans-serif";color:windowtext;" lang="EN-US">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma", "sans-serif";color:windowtext;" lang="EN-US"> ubuntu-doc-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-doc-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Martin Dixon<br><b>Sent:</b> October-28-2013 01:36<br><b>To:</b> Ubuntu Doc<br><b>Subject:</b> doc meeting start working on 14.04</span></div></div></div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal"> </div><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal">Hi. <br>Sorry I have another "issue" - in order to keep our efforts on track Doug suggested -</div><pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman", "serif";"><dsmythies> </span></pre><pre><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman", "serif";">Suggest continued use of: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsSw0cKYcffNdFlFakF5M0VjR002UEVvakVPZGpydHc#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsSw0cKYcffNdFlFakF5M0VjR002UEVvakVPZGpydHc#gid=0</a></span></pre><div class="yiv1205693200MsoNormal">However he is already author of a very readable (Server) page -<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServerGuide#Contribution_table">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/UbuntuServerGuide#Contribution_table</a><br><br>whilst the Google doc was very valuable it did not contain the very helpful "Kick start" and "Contribuition Table" assists.<br><br>Assuming some knowledgeable backup I am prepared to fashion such a page for Desktop docs if is deemed useful.<br>+ and - comments very welcome.<br><br>Regards, Martin</div></div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
