I did volunteer to review this part of the manual in last night's 
meeting.  I have already had a look at the first few pages.  But I need 
to get a plain vanilla 12.04 up and running in VB to check things out 
(for instance, I don't think a simple install will have a Keyboard 
Indicator).  Let me know if you want me to continue with this, and, if 
you do, how much of the Desktop chapter you want me to be editor for.

We are talking about two things here: writing (author) and proof-reading 
(editor).
Writing: first read the current ubuntu-desktop.tex file (which is copied 
from the Oneiric version), or chapter 2 if you have generated the pdf 
file, to check if what is written is still true for 12.04 (luckily, most 
of the text is still valid). Either rewrite, or add new text for things 
that have changed or are new. If you look at the subchapters below [1], 
we mainly talk about the chapter up to and including Workspaces. I 
understand that Sayantan wil write about the HUD.
It is also necessary to redo the screenshots.

Editing: Once the chapter is (re)written, it is the editor's job to 
proof-read the chapter and make corrections, if necessary.

If you want to (re)write, please send a message to John. If it is only 
the editing you want to do, let me know. John does the coordination for 
the authors, while I do it for the editors.

Thank you so much for offering your help.
Hannie
